 Saudi Arabia: Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), the largest power producer in Saudi Arabia, has recently allocated $34 million for setting up new transformer stations, power plants and electricity transmission networks in a bid to boost the kingdom's power infrastructure.

Within the plan, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has won a contract from SEC for building a 132 kV double circuit transmission line besides 132 kV cabling in the Rafah, Arar, and Sakaka areas of the kingdom, reports Trade Arabia.
