<p>The renewables arm of Larsen &amp; Toubro’s Power Transmission &amp; Distribution Business has secured a turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract from the consortium of ACWA Power and the Water and Electricity Holding Company, a subsidiary of the Public Investments Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF), for the Sudair Solar photovoltaic (PV) Project of 1.5 GW capacity.</p>
<p>The project is considered to be the largest solar project in Saudi Arabia.</p>
<p>The project coming up in Riyadh Province has a 30.8 square kilometer land parcel available to install a total capacity of 1.5 GW PV solar modules with associated single axis tracker and inverters.</p>
<p>As part of Saudi Arabia’s National Renewable Energy Program (NREP), the Sudair project is awarded to PIF and its partner, ACWA Power. This project is part of 70% of the target capacity of 58.7 GW assigned to PIF. The Renewable Energy Project Development Office (REPDO) would undertake competitive tendering for the remaining 30%.</p>
<p>“With several GW of solar EPC experience, L&amp;T has emerged as a global technology player for solar plants,” said S.N. Subrahmanyan, chief executive officer and managing director, Larsen &amp; Toubro.</p>
<p>Securing the project is a major milestone in the firm’s clean and green energy path to fight the climate crisis that the world faces, Subrahmanyan said.</p>
<p>“L&amp;T has been a provider of EPC services for several green projects in recent years. We have a diversified renewable portfolio of 32 M.W. floating solar power plants, 135 MWh of battery energy storage projects, 500 microgrids, and 14,000 solar water pumps. L&amp;T is also working on potential solutions related to green hydrogen and carbon capture and storage technologies.”</p>
<p>In an expansion move, in a BSE filing in February this year, L&amp;T had <a href="https://mercomindia.com/daily-news-wrap-up-solar-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> its power transmission &amp; distribution business had secured two engineering, procurement, and construction orders to establish over 400 MW of solar projects in Gujarat.</p>
