This cutting-edge technology integrates the Outage Management System and Distribution Management System, enabling smarter power distribution across the state. The real-time monitoring and control of medium and low voltage networks will significantly improve network reliability. By allowing quicker fault isolation and faster restoration of services, this system aims to enhance power supply efficiency and reduce outages.
This project highlights L&T’s commitment to driving technological innovation in India’s energy sector. By modernizing the distribution network, the project will bolster the region's infrastructure and align with the nation’s vision for a smarter power grid.
Key Projects in the Middle East
L&T’s PT&D vertical has further expanded its footprint in the Middle East by securing several significant orders:
- Saudi Arabia: L&T has been entrusted with the construction of a 380kV Substation, which will support the evacuation of solar energy generation. This initiative is a critical step toward integrating renewable energy into the region's power grid, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s ambitious sustainability goals under Vision 2030.
- Kuwait: The company will deliver a 400kV Substation for a major city project, enhancing power transmission infrastructure and ensuring reliable electricity distribution in the area.
- Dubai: L&T has bagged multiple orders for establishing Extra High Voltage (EHV) substations, including a 400/132kV Substation. These substations are part of Dubai’s strategic efforts to expand its power infrastructure, cementing its position as a leading global destination for residents, businesses, and tourists.
