  "account": "L&T Renewables has secured a major Middle Eastern contract worth up to Rs 10,000 crore to develop three Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects, bringing the total storage capacity to 6 GWh. The company announced on August 25 that the contract was awarded by an unnamed Middle Eastern client to its Renewables business vertical. Classified as a \"Major\" order in L&T's internal project system, the deal represents a significant investment between Rs 5,000 crore and Rs 10,000 crore. The three projects will collectively provide four hours of energy storage and dispatch capability each, contributing to the stability and reliability of the regional power grid. In addition to the BESS installations, L&T will handle grid interconnections, substation pooling, and underground cable networks, ensuring seamless power flow between the storage facilities and the broader electricity network. The projects will employ liquid-cooling technology, promising higher power density, enhanced safety, and longer operational life spans. Through energy shifting, surplus clean electricity generated during off-peak hours can be stored and later released during periods of heightened demand, reducing grid stress and maximizing the utilization of renewable power sources.",
