Industry sources added that L&T has also secured a crucial project to construct 400kV and 220kV substations aimed at integrating Abu Dhabi’s electricity network with energy-intensive industries. This project will ensure reliable power supply, enhance grid integration, and support a transition to decarbonized electricity as renewable energy sources grow.

Industry sources further confirmed that the firm has also created huge strides in Water Management, accomplishing over 10 projects valued at over $1 billion, comprising the UAE’s largest sewage treatment plant in Jebel Ali, and the strategic Ad Dakhiliyah water transmission project in Oman.

With the Middle East’s ideal conditions for solar generation, L&T aims to stress on its advancements in solar power, targeting a cumulative capacity of 22 GWp (Gigawatt Peak).

The firm is currently constructing Phase 6 of Dubai’s Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which includes an 1800 MWac solar photovoltaic plant covering 20 sq km. The project will feature two gas-insulated substations, high-voltage underground cabling, and medium-voltage distribution networks. Once operational, it is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 2.4 million tonnes annually.
