India, Mumbai: Indian engineering and construction company Larsen & Toubro’s (L&T) power transmission and distribution (PT&D) business has secured new “mega” projects in two GCC countries. The exact value of the deals was not disclosed, but the company estimates “mega” deals to be between INR 100 and 150 billion ($1.2-$1.8 billion).
The company’s PT&D vertical won orders to establish ±500 kV high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission links associated with interconnections planned across Saudi Arabia’s national electricity network. It also secured orders for three more packages involving two 380 kV overhead transmission lines and a bulk supply 380 kV gas-insulated substation. The projects could contribute significantly to the renewable generation interconnection and fortification of the grid, the company said in a statemen to the Indian stock exchange.
In the UAE, the company won an order to build two 400 kV gas-insulated substations in Abu Dhabi. In addition to civil works, the scope involves series current limiting reactors, auto transformers, related control, protection, substation monitoring and alarm systems, including fault and power quality monitoring, telecommunication systems and integration with the load dispatch centre. The substations will enhance the power transfer capacity of the electricity grid, the statement said.
