KEC International has reached a major infrastructure milestone with the successful energization of a 380 kV Double Circuit Overhead Transmission Line in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The project provides a critical link between the HODN PV BSP and TEG BSP stations, bolstering the nation’s power grid and its capacity for renewable energy integration.
Project Scope and Specifications
The transmission line serves as a vital artery for Saudi Arabia's growing energy needs:
Distance: Approximately 103 kilometers.
Infrastructure: Installation of 239 transmission towers.
Voltage: 380 kV Double Circuit.
Overcoming Extreme Engineering Hurdles
The project is being hailed as one of the most technically demanding transmission initiatives in the region due to the harsh environmental conditions:
Hostile Terrain: The route spanned mountainous regions, volcanic rock formations, and areas requiring hard rock foundations.
Extreme Elevations: Engineering teams managed altitude corrections at heights reaching 1,600 meters above sea level.
Logistical Complexity: The project involved navigating multiple complex crossings, requiring precision planning and advanced engineering to maintain safety and structural integrity.
"The successful delivery of this project reflects KEC International’s robust execution capabilities and its commitment to supporting sustainable development through reliable energy networks."
Impact on Saudi Vision 2030
By connecting these key substations, KEC International is directly supporting Saudi Arabia’s goal of modernizing its power infrastructure. The line is particularly significant for its role in renewable energy integration, helping move power from solar sources to the broader grid.
