L&T’s renewables arm wins ‘major’ BESS order in Middle East
In addition to the storage facilities, the scope of the packages involves grid interconnections, including pooling substations and underground cables. The three projects will collectively contribute to 6 gigawatt-hour of storage capacity.
The renewables business vertical of India’s Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has won a major order to develop three BESS projects for a client in the Middle East.
L&T classifies a ‘major’ order as being between INR 50 billion and INR 100 billion (approximately USD 520 million to USD 1.05 billion).
In addition to the storage facilities, the scope of the packages involves grid interconnections, including pooling substations and underground cables, according to a press release.
The three projects will collectively contribute to 6 gigawatt-hour of storage capacity,
The projects feature a 4-hour BESS each, 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, the press release said.
Larsen & Toubro is a USD 32 billion Indian multinational engaged in EPC projects, hi-tech manufacturing, and products and services, operating across diverse domains and multiple geographies.
