The power transmission and distribution (PT&D) business of Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured a slew of orders across its spectrum of offerings.
As traditional power generation companies rapidly enhance renewable capacities in their portfolios, PT&D has secured two EPC orders to establish more than 400 MW solar photovoltaic projects in Gujarat.
The scope of the packages involve design, engineering, supply, construction, testing, commissioning and operation & maintenance of grid connected solar PV plants of about 200 MW each.
A 765 kV double circuit transmission line package has been received through a project specific transmission company. This line is associated with the transmission scheme for evacuation of power from solar energy zones in Rajasthan.
The company secured orders to supply and install high voltage distribution systems in certain districts on a turnkey mode in West Bengal.
The grid modernisation programme in semi-urban and rural areas is being implemented by the state with multilateral assistance. Another order to construct 220 kV and 132 kV transmission lines has been won from the state transmission utility.
The business has won 400 kV substation order in Tamil Nadu. The scope of the package involves establishing a complete substation including associated transformers, reactors, switchgear, control & protection, substation automation systems, etc. This project is aimed to meet the future load growth of the Coimbatore region and to strengthen the evacuation system of an upcoming pumped storage power plant.
In Qatar, the business has secured an order to install line connected current limiting reactors for the first time in the country's network. As the electricity network expands, the 400 kV equipment will help improve grid stability and enable use of the existing switchgear without major replacements.
