ABB: Taking pole position with two electricity distribution utilities
01/05/2015 Hitachi Energy UK Limited
ABB has won significant framework contracts for pole mounted transformers from two major electricity distribution utilities, UK Power Networks and Western Power Distribution.Pole mounted transformers play a vital role for the UK's distribution utilities in delivering electrical services to urban and rural residential and commercial customers. Both UK Power Networks and Western Power Distribution use a great number of them in their networks, both for repairs and refurbishment and new infrastructure.
The contract success demonstrates the utilities' confidence in ABB in two key areas. First, ABB had to demonstrate that its transformers were competitively priced and second, ABB had to show that it could meet the demanding delivery schedules from receiving a call-off order to delivering the units to depot.
Richard Holliday General Manager for Transformers in the UK said: "ABB's success
in winning the pole mounted transformer framework contracts from UK Power Networks and Western Power Distribution demonstrates our ability to deliver large volume of units with coordinated deliveries across the UK to meet end customer demands."
