ABB Power Grids said that it has bagged Rs 165 crore order from state-run refiner Indian Oil Corporation. ‘ABB Power Grids in India has been chosen by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) to strengthen its mission-critical power infrastructure at its Barauni refinery in Bihar,’ according to a company statement. The firm has been awarded the project to ensure reliable grid connection at its Barauni refinery in Bihar, the statement added.
The refiner aims to expand its crude oil processing capacity at the plant by 50 per cent to 9 million tonnes per annum in the next three years. And, this project will ensure power quality for its future operations there. The technology pioneer is delivering its 220/33 kilovolt gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) substation which will assimilate power from the Bihar State Power Transmission Corporation Ltd and IOCL’s captive generation plants and deliver it with efficiency to the Barauni refinery, critical for smoothly running the refinery’s complex processing operations.
