ABB won an order worth around $40 million in the United States, from Public Service Electric & Gas (PSE&G) to supply gas insulated switchgear (GIS) to two substations and help strengthen grid reliability. The order was booked in the third quarter of 2015. Hillsdale substation in Bergen County is a 50-year-old air-insulated switchgear (AIS) facility that will be upgraded to protect the infrastructure and prevent power outages for residents during severe weather. The conversion of Jackson Road AIS substation in Passaic County to GIS will allow for increased capacity without expanding the substation footprint.
