Saudi-based Nesma Infrastructure & Technology (NIT) has won new power connection projects worth 800 million Saudi riyals ($213.28 million) from Saudi Electricity Company. 

The project includes designing, building and commissioning two transmission substations along with corresponding overhead transmission lines and connecting to the grid for Trojena, the $500 billion gigaproject’s mountain destination in the northwest region of Saudi Arabia.

Trojena is positioned as a year-round adventure sports destination, including skiing, water sports, hiking and mountain biking. It will be the host of the 2029 Asian Winter Games.
