The Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) announced plans to commence work on a critical 380kV substation and associated overhead transmission line (OHTL) projects in the central region of Saudi Arabia, as part of the Kingdom’s ongoing efforts to expand its renewable energy infrastructure.
The project includes the construction of the Mawqaq PV 380kV Bulk Supply Point (BSP) substation, which will support upcoming renewable energy developments across the country. According to SEC, bids have been received from regional utility firms for the initiative.
Trading & Development Partnership (TDP) has emerged as the lowest bidder for the substation construction, with a proposed value of US $158mn. In parallel, SEC is also advancing overhead transmission line works. For the 380kV OHTL project connecting the Mawqaq PV BSP to the existing power grid, Alfanar Projects submitted the lowest bid at $42.3mn.
SEC stated that the official awarding of the contracts remains contingent on the successful evaluation and approval of the submitted proposals. These projects mark a significant step toward Saudi Arabia’s power infrastructure and its transition to sustainable energy sources under Vision 2030.
This initiative aligns with the broader goals of the National Renewable Energy Program (NREP), overseen by the Ministry of Energy. Currently, the Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the sixth round of renewable energy projects, offering a total combined capacity of 4,500MW.
