Kuwait’s Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy has revealed that Larsen & Toubro (L&T), a leading Indian construction and engineering conglomerate, has submitted the lowest bid for the 400 kV Overhead Transmission Line (OHTL) project at the Al Shaqaya Solar Power Generation Station.
L&T’s bid stands at KD41.45 million ($135.2 million), positioning it to play a key role in the development of this innovative renewable energy project.
The Al Shaqaya Solar Power Generation Station is a crucial component of the Shagaya Renewable Energy Project, spearheaded by the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR). The project will establish a 400 kV OHTL to connect the Al Shaqaya solar station with the main substation in Al Wafra (Z).
As part of its first phase, the project is projected to generate approximately 3.2GW of electricity from renewable sources by 2030, contributing to Kuwait’s growing renewable energy capacity.
