L&T wins order for setting up 6 GWh BESS projects in Middle East
Mumbai, Aug 25 (IANS) Engineering and construction major Larsen & Toubro (L&T) announced on Tuesday that its renewable energy business has won a mega order to develop three battery energy storage system (BESS) projects for a notable client in the Middle East.
The company said it classifies mega orders as those valued between Rs 5,000 crore and Rs 10,000 crore.
The three projects will collectively contribute to 6 gigawatt-hour (GWh) of storage capacity, marking one of the most impactful advancements in grid modernisation and renewable energy integration across the Middle East region. This positions L&T as a key EPC player in the fast-growing energy storage sector.
In addition to the storage facilities, the scope of the packages also involves grid interconnections, including pooling substations and underground cables, L & T said in a regulatory filing with the stock exchanges.
This enables effective energy shifting, allowing surplus clean energy generated during off-peak periods to be stored and delivered during peak demand hours, the company said.
Each project features a 4-hour battery energy storage system (BESS), capable of storing and dispatching energy, to support grid stability and renewable energy integration. This enables effective energy shifting, allowing surplus clean energy generated during off-peak periods to be stored and delivered during peak demand hours. The advanced BESS solution will incorporate liquid cooling technology, ensuring higher power density, enhanced safety and extended operational life.
Such projects entail stringent requirements with respect to plant performance, workforce mobilisation, safety, quality and timeline. The order stands as a testament to the enduring trust and confidence that clients place in L&T, backed by proven engineering excellence and project management expertise, the statement added.
The company has also signed an ultra-mega contract worth more than Rs 15,000 crore to build gas compression facilities and related infrastructure for a big client in the Middle East. The key components include gas inlet facilities, compression systems, condensate and produced-water handling systems, and propane refrigeration systems for processing sour gas.
