ABB has won a $125 million order to connect a wind farm 30 kilometers off the Belgian coast to the mainland grid, a further step by the Swiss engineer to capitalize on the push for green technologies.

Scheduled to begin service in 2013, the Belgian wind farm was expected to generate 1,000 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year — equivalent to the annual consumption of 600,000 people in Belgium, ABB said.

The order was placed by Belgian company C-Power NV.

In July, ABB, which produces equipment for utility companies, received its largest-ever such transmission order, a $700 million order to connect North Sea wind farms to the German grid.
