India: The renewable arm of India’s Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has finalised orders with a developer in the Middle East to build two gigawatt-scale solar PV plants. The projects will have a cumulative capacity of 3.5 GW.

While the value of the contract was not given, the company’s statement categorised the award as mega, in the INR 100 billion to INR 150 billion range ($1.2 billion-$1.8 billion). No country names were specified.

The scope of the orders includes grid interconnections encompassing pooling substations and overhead transmission lines, and detailed engineering and initial construction work are expected to begin soon.
