ABB Ltd. (ABBN.EB) said late Monday that it received a $40 million order from German grid operator TransnetBW to upgrade a high-voltage substation in the Obermooweiler area of Germany's Baden-Wuerttemberg state.

The Swiss industrial group said it will install a 380-kilovolt gas-insulated switchgear, which uses a more environmentally friendly gas mixture than the industry standard.

ABB said the technology used in the substation will help Germany meet its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2020.
