Larsen & Toubro announced today its renewables business vertical has secured the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the development of a grid-connected 116 MW AC solar PV plant integrated with a 241 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS). The project is located at Kajra in the Lakhisarai district of Bihar.
L&T said the EPC order marks an extension of the earlier phase, taking the total co-located storage capacity of the renewable generation site at Lakhisarai to 495 MWh — the largest such project awarded by a state utility in India.
The deployment of a 4-hour BESS alongside intermittent solar generation will enable energy time-shifting, allowing surplus clean energy to be stored and despatched during peak demand periods. The advanced BESS solution will feature liquid cooling technology, ensuring higher power density, improved safety, and extended operational life.
L&T’s renewables business vertical had earlier secured an EPC order for a 275 MW solar PV project in Gujarat, strengthening its portfolio of flexible, efficient and cost-effective clean energy systems.
