The substations will help feed electricity from IWPP into the country’s grid and later step down for distribution along the planned development areas.
ABB will commission the 400kV and 220/132 kV substations, which feature gas-insulated switchgear, advanced control and protection and telecommunication systems.
The IWPP is designed to generate 2,520MW power, and has a desalination capacity of around 600 million liters of water a day.
ABB Power Systems division president Claudio Facchin said: "We have an extensive presence and track-record in the region and are pleased to contribute to Qatar’s efforts to expand capacity and address the growing demand for electricity and fresh water.
"This success supports the re-focus of the Power Systems division and ABB’s Next Level strategic thrust on growing markets."
ABB develops air-insulated, gas-insulated and hybrid substations with voltage levels up to 1,100kV.
