Larsen & Toubro’s Construction division secures a pivotal role as the turnkey Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor for setting up various systems related to renewable energy generation and utilities at the Amaala project in Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea region.
Spanning across 4155 square kilometers in the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Natural Reserve, the Amaala project aims to become an ultra-luxury destination, blending pristine landscapes, diverse ecosystems, and rich local culture. Upon completion, it will feature 25 hotels, 900 luxury residential units, high-end retail spaces, fine dining options, wellness facilities, and recreational amenities.
The consortium formed by Masdar, a leading clean energy player from the UAE, and French electricity utility EDF, has signed a concession agreement for this integrated utility project with the developers of Amaala. Larsen & Toubro, in turn, has inked an EPC agreement with the consortium comprising EDF and Masdar.
Focusing on sustainability and aiming for a regenerative impact on the environment, the project awarded to Larsen & Toubro will integrate an optimized off-grid renewable energy system. This system includes a Solar PV plant with a capacity of around 250MWp and a Battery Energy Storage System exceeding 700MWh.
The comprehensive scope for power systems encompasses biofuel-based internal combustion engines, three Gas Insulated Substations, high-voltage transmission lines, and medium-voltage distribution networks. Additionally, the water systems aspect involves the construction of a 37 MLD Seawater Reverse Osmosis Plant, Sewage Treatment Plants, marine infrastructure, potable water and wastewater networks, and tank farms.
Commenting on this significant development, Mr. T. Madhava Das, Whole-Time Director & Sr. Executive Vice President (Utilities) at Larsen & Toubro, expressed, “The award of this prestigious contract showcases the diverse capabilities of L&T Construction in providing innovative solutions for customers seeking sustainable, clean, and reliable electricity and water systems. |
