The Power Transmission & Distribution (PT&D) vertical of Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has secured a contract to build a 185 MW grid-connected solar project and a 254 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Kajra, Lakshisarai district, Bihar, India.
The BESS will enable storing solar energy during low-demand periods and discharging when the demand peaks. In addition, the BESS will also help smooth the fluctuations in generation, frequency regulation and voltage support. It comes with a black start capability to the grid, facilitating quick re-energisation after an outage.
L&T specializes in EPC projects and high-tech manufacturing across multiple countries. It offers renewable energy solutions for ground-mounted PV and floating solar projects, grid-scale and distributed energy storage systems, efficient transmission and distribution networks, and related digital energy solutions. The company’s clean energy operations extend across India, the Middle East, and the Far East, supporting customers in developing gigawatt-scale projects.
