Mumbai: Larsen & Toubro’s Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) business unit has secured significant new orders in the Middle East and Africa to enhance high-voltage electricity grids. The orders encompass turnkey solutions, including an advanced energy management system for a nationwide electricity network.

One of the marquee projects involves a consortium-led venture with an original equipment manufacturer to establish Kenya's new National System Control Centre. This critical infrastructure hub will streamline the integration of diverse power sources and optimise power dispatch through a merit-based system, ensuring stable and efficient power flow across the nation. Additionally, a back-up energy management system will be implemented at a separate location to safeguard grid stability.

In Saudi Arabia, L&T has been awarded contracts for the construction of high-voltage transmission lines, while additional gas insulated substation (GIS) orders have been secured as part of an ongoing power system expansion in Qatar.

This series of new contracts emphasises L&T’s proven capabilities in transmission and distribution projects, coupled with advanced digital energy solutions to support a stable, reliable grid across regions with varying energy demands.
