L&T GreenTech, Cockerill Sign MoU on Solar Power, Energy Storage

L&T Energy GreenTech Limited (LTEGL), a fully owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro, and John Cockerill from Belgium have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to investigate technology cooperation in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and Thermal Energy Storage (TES). The partnership will emphasize recognizing and cultivating opportunities in manufacturing, component provision, and engineering solutions vital for implementing CSP and TES initiatives.

LTEGL concentrates on green hydrogen, its derivatives, and the production of electrolysers, working in three main sectors: Development, Manufacturing, and EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction). The firm provides comprehensive solutions throughout the green energy value chain via technology, collaborations, and research and development.

John Cockerill offers more than 200 years of expertise in the energy and industrial fields. The firm creates technologies for generating electricity from renewable resources, energy storage solutions, and optimizing the performance of power stations and industrial facilities. Its collection of technologies features heat recovery steam generators, receivers for concentrating solar power plants, integrated systems for generating and storing green electricity, industrial boilers, and cooling systems.

Commenting on the MoU, Subramanian Sarma, Whole-time Director & President (Energy), L&T, said, “L&T remains committed to accelerating the adoption of next-generation green energy technologies. Ensuring round-the-clock availability of renewable power is crucial for driving the global energy transition. Our collaboration with John Cockerill marks a significant step in this direction, combining L&T’s end-to-end expertise in manufacturing, EPC and services with John Cockerill’s global leadership in energy.”

Derek Shah, Senior Vice President & Head, L&T Energy - Green Manufacturing & Development, stated, “Partnering with John Cockerill and leveraging its expertise in CSP and TES technology allows us to integrate advanced energy storage solutions with our robust engineering and manufacturing capabilities. By leveraging these synergies, we aim to accelerate the deployment of green RTC power generation, driving the shift towards a greener, more sustainable energy future.”
