Kenya/Saudi Arabia: The Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) vertical of Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured orders in the Middle East and Kenya. The orders are for expanding and strengthening the electricity grids at high-voltage levels and include implementation of an Energy Management System for country-wide electricity network.
One of the orders is in consortium with a leading original equipment manufacturer to build the new National System Control Centre for Kenya. The transmission hub will manage the power flow in the country by integrating diverse generation sources and by despatching power based on merit order. It will be a crucial element in the country’s grid for ensuring stable, efficient, and reliable operations in view of variable renewable energy sources getting added and the high-voltage regional interconnections being established. The scope involves implementation of back-up energy management system at a distant location. The company will leverage its experience in executing T&D projects and the expertise in Digital Energy Solutions.
In the Middle East, orders have been secured for turnkey construction of high-voltage transmission lines in Saudi Arabia. Also, gas insulated substation (GIS) orders have been received in an ongoing power system expansion project in Qatar. The value of the orders has not been specified, but T&D India reports that they are collectively valued between INR 5000 crore and INR 10000 crore.
