Share

Indian multinational Larsen & Toubro (L&T) announced today that it has secured multiple domestic EPC orders, including substation packages for the Khavda RE park in Gujarat and the RE zone in Andhra Pradesh.

L&T has secured orders to establish 765kV and 400kV gas-insulated substations, to serve as pooling substations, in the Khavda RE zone.

It has also won an order to establish 765kV gas-insulated and air-insulated substation bays at the pooling and remote end substations for the RE zone in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh.

The combined scope of these substation packages includes more than 7 km of gas-insulated bus ducts, bus reactors, and protection & automation systems.

Large renewable energy (RE) zones such as the upcoming Khavda RE park and the RE zone in the Kurnool district house several solar and wind projects from various developers in contiguous land parcels. The power generated from such individual projects is collected at pooling substations, located in the vicinity, and then re-distributed to intra-state and inter-state transmission networks.

L&T has also bagged orders to develop distribution infrastructure in two circles of Rajasthan discom.
