L&T to build 2GW solar plants in Middle East

These will have a cumulative capacity of 3.5GW.

The renewables unit of India’s Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured orders with a developer in the Middle East to build two gigawatt scale solar photovoltaic (PV) plants in the said region.

In a statement, L&T said the order also includes grid interconnections encompassing pooling substations and overhead transmission lines. Detailed engineering and initial construction work are expected to commence shortly.

Last month, the company announced its 185-megawatt solar PV project in India.

Following latest developments, L&T said its renewables portfolio is projected to reach 22 gigawatt peak cumulative capacity, which comprises solar and wind projects that are operating and being developed.

“The Middle East is far ahead in creating sustainable energy infrastructure and in providing a smart lifestyle. These orders are welcome additions to our green portfolio, as we build the company of the future with next-generation technologies,” said S N Subrahmanyan, chairman and managing director at L&T.
