South Korea’s Hyundai Engineering & Construction (Hyundai E&C) has secured two orders worth $389 million from Saudi Electricity Company to construct the 380-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines.

The project includes building transmission lines in the Madinah and Jeddah regions, the Korean Herald reported.

The 380kV transmission network will span 311 kilometres (km), linking a proposed solar power plant in western Saudi Arabia to a substation near Madinah.

Meanwhile, the Qurayyat 380kV transmission network, to be built in the Jeddah region, will extend 180km, connecting a solar power plant planned for Qurayyat to the existing power grid near Makkah. 

The projects are set for completion by November 2027, the report said.
