Larsen & Toubro’s Renewables (RENU) vertical has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with ACWA Power for the Renewables & Grid scope of the Yanbu Green Ammonia Project in Saudi Arabia.

The Yanbu Green Hydrogen Hub is being developed as a fully integrated facility with its own captive renewable electricity generation from solar and wind power. The Renewables & Grid scope includes multiple facilities such as solar PV, wind and battery energy storage plants, supported by substations and transmission lines.

The MoU establishes a collaborative framework to design, configure and achieve performance targets for the Renewables & Grid elements. Larsen & Toubro has also committed to enter into an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract once the final proposal is approved.

The collaboration leverages L&T’s EPC expertise to ensure seamless integration of renewable technologies, robust project execution, and high standards of safety, sustainability and performance.

Marco Arcelli, Chief Executive Officer of ACWA Power, said: “The rapid pace of development on the Yanbu Green Hydrogen Project demonstrates our commitment to advancing the Kingdom’s role in the global energy transition. By producing and exporting green ammonia, we will aid international markets in decarbonisation and support a cleaner, more sustainable future.”

T Madhava Das, Member of the Board and Senior Executive Vice President (Utilities) at Larsen & Toubro, said: “Saudi Arabia is a leader in clean energy supply and industrial decarbonisation, with strong progress in recent years. Strategically positioned between east and west, the Kingdom offers competitive renewable energy and is developing ultra-mega projects with clear timelines. We are proud to contribute to its ambitions, particularly along the India–Middle East–Europe corridor. This MoU with our esteemed customer ACWA marks a major milestone in our trusted partnership.”
