India, Aug. 4 -- Larsen & Toubro's Renewables business has secured a significant engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) order to develop a 116 MWac grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) plant integrated with a 241 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Kajra in Bihar's Lakhisarai district.
This project builds on an earlier phase, bringing the total co-located storage capacity at the site to 495 MWh—making it the largest such project awarded by a state utility in India. The integration of a 4-hour BESS with intermittent solar generation will allow for energy time-shifting, enabling the storage of excess clean energy and its dispatch during peak demand periods.
The BESS will incorporate advanced liquid cooling technolo...
