Saudi Arabia Electric Substation Market Trends:

Expansion of GIS Substations to Support Grid Reliability

Saudi Arabia is placing greater focus on expanding high-voltage gas-insulated substations to strengthen its power transmission network. These substations are favored for their reliability, compact footprint, and suitability in dense or challenging environments. Development projects now commonly involve end-to-end execution, covering everything from design and civil works to automation and commissioning. This integrated approach helps streamline timelines and supports efficient integration of new power generation sources into the national grid. Emphasis is also being placed on incorporating advanced switchgear systems and localized components, aligning with broader objectives for infrastructure modernization and energy security. The expansion of such facilities plays a critical role in improving grid performance, accommodating future load demand, and supporting the energy transition underway across the country. These factors are intensifying the Saudi Arabia electric substation market growth. For example, in June 2024, Linxon was awarded a turnkey contract by Saudi Electricity Company to build the 380 kV Taibah GIS substation in Madinah. This project supports power evacuation from the 3.6 GW Taibah IPP and includes design, engineering, and equipment supply from Hitachi Energy. The substation enhances grid reliability and aligns with Saudi Arabia’s energy mix and infrastructure goals. Completion is scheduled within 26 months under SEC supervision.

Strengthening Grid Infrastructure for Renewable Integration

Saudi Arabia is advancing the development of high-capacity gas-insulated substations to reinforce its transmission backbone and enable smoother integration of renewable energy sources. These projects typically include components such as reactors and hybrid GIS bays, designed to enhance system flexibility and reliability. The increasing scale and complexity of substation contracts reflect a national drive to create a more resilient and efficient grid capable of supporting diverse energy inputs. Strategic investments in such infrastructure aim to ensure stable power delivery to key regions while accommodating the evolving generation mix. This push also aligns with efforts to localize capabilities and accelerate the deployment of advanced technologies within the country’s power transmission ecosystem. For instance, in March 2025, Larsen & Toubro’s Power Transmission & Distribution unit secured a major contract in Saudi Arabia for a 380 kV gas insulated substation (GIS), including reactors and hybrid GIS bays. Classified as a ‘large’ order, it highlights L&T’s role in advancing Saudi Arabia’s grid infrastructure and renewable energy integration.
