The Renewables business vertical of Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has won a major order to develop three Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects for a notable client in the Middle East, a company release said.
In addition to the storage facilities, the scope of the packages also involves grid interconnections, including pooling substations and underground cables.
The three projects will collectively contribute to 6 GWh storage capacity, marking one of the most impactful advancements in grid modernisation and renewable energy integration across the Middle East region.
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.
Advanced solution
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 release added.
Order value
Though the L&T release did not disclose the exact value of the BESS mandates, L&T has termed the order as “major” implying an order value of between Rs.5,000 crore and Rs.10,000 crore, as per L&T’s own classification.
