L&T Renewables Secures Significant Order for BESS-Integrated Solar Plant in Bihar
The Renewables business vertical of L&T has secured a significant order to develop a grid-connected 116 MWac Solar Photovoltaic (PV) plant integrated with a 241 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Kajra, Lakhisarai district in Bihar. This extends 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 BESS solution will feature liquid cooling technology, ensuring higher power density, improved safety, and extended operational life. This initiative aligns with Government of India’s policy push for co-located renewable energy storage systems and supports the Jal-Jeevan-Hariyali Abhiyan in Bihar.
