Bengaluru, August 25, 2026: The Renewables business vertical of L&T has won a major order to develop three Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects for a notable client in the Middle East.
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 gigawatt-hour 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.
The projects feature a 4-hour Battery Energy Storage System (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.
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.
