Larsen & Toubro’s (L&T) renewables business has secured a major order to develop three battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in the Middle East, with a combined storage capacity of 6 gigawatt-hours (GWh).
The order is valued between US$570m and US$1.14bn under L&T’s internal contract classification. The company did not disclose the precise contract value, customer, project locations or delivery schedule.
The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) scope covers the three storage facilities and associated grid infrastructure, including pooling substations and underground cables.
Each project will use a four-hour BESS designed to store surplus electricity generated during off-peak periods and dispatch it when demand rises. The systems are intended to strengthen grid stability and support greater renewable energy integration across the region.
L&T said the facilities will incorporate liquid-cooling technology to provide higher power density, improve safety and extend the batteries’ operational life.
The order expands L&T’s presence in the Middle East energy-storage market as regional electricity systems invest in grid flexibility to accommodate growing renewable generation.
Headquartered in Mumbai, L&T is an Indian multinational engaged in engineering, procurement and construction, technology, manufacturing and financial services, with operations spanning infrastructure, energy and industrial markets.
