Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has won a series of grid infrastructure-related orders in the Middle East.
In a stock exchange filing, L&T said that its power transmission & distribution (PT&D) vertical has won grid infrastructure orders in Middle East, including the EPC of a critical 400kV substation in UAE.
The release said that the 400kV super grid interconnection linking the electricity networks of GCC member states has helped in efficient utilization of generation capacity and has improved the overall grid resilience.
Currently, the network of the Sultanate of Oman is connected to this interconnection through UAE’s grid at 220kV. Now a direct interconnection is being established at 400kV level for which a 400kV substation in UAE is crucial. L&T PT&D has won an order to engineer, procure and construct this 400kV substation, the release said.
Another order has been secured for building a set of new 132kV substations in the Middle East to cater to the electricity demand growth.
In Saudi Arabia, an order has been received for turnkey construction of 380kV overhead transmission lines associated with integration of renewable energy power plants.
Though L&T has not specified the exact value of these orders, the total order value, as per L&T’s classification is the range of Rs.2,500 crore to Rs.5,000 crore.
