India’s leading engineering and construction conglomerate, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has announced that its power transmission and distribution business has secured multiple engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) orders to build Transmission Lines and Substations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The company said that the business will undertake engineering, design, procurement, and construction of more than 400KM of 380kV Overhead Transmission Lines and a new 230kV Gas Insulated Substation with associated automation and protection systems.
L&T said in a statement that “the transmission network strengthening augurs well for providing reliable, safe and efficient electricity supply as Saudi Arabia is embarked on an ambitious National Renewable Energy Program towards attaining optimal generation mix as envisaged in its strategic vision for 2030.”
These repeat orders from the largest electric energy system provider in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region demonstrate the core strengths of the business and the customer confidence it has gained over decades of its association in the Kingdom, the Indian firm added.
Last year, L&T secured a construction contract to build the 1.5-gigawatt (GW) Sudair Solar PV Project, Saudi Arabia’s largest solar photovoltaic (PV) plant.
