L&T Energy Green Tech and John Cockerill Collaborate on Renewable Energy Technologies

L&T Energy Green Tech Limited (LTEGL) and John Cockerill have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) and Thermal Energy Storage (TES) technologies in India. The partnership will explore the deployment of renewable energy solutions, to support continuous Green power supply.

L&T is a multinational company, specialising in EPC projects, manufacturing and services. John Cockerill is a Belgium based company, operating in 29 countries, focusing on energy and security infrastructure. The collaboration aims to contribute to India’s renewable energy sector and industrial power systems.

By combining L&T’s expertise in project execution, manufacturing and engineering with John Cockerill’s technology, the two companies plans to develop energy solutions. The MoU establishes a framework for future large scale projects to support energy security and economic development in India. The companies plan to work on renewable and dispatchable power generation in India, including large scale grid, and off-grid projects. This initiative is aligned with India’s efforts to transition to low carbon energy sources.

Derek Shah (L&T Energy – Green Mfg. & Development) commented, “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.”

Mr Vivek Bhide, Regional President and Group Transformation Officer, John Cockerill added, “Indian businesses are increasingly partnering with the government in supporting its move towards sustainable energy adoption and net zero commitments. Our CSP and TES technology will aid this transition and deliver reliable and sustainable energy solutions to Indian businesses. We are grateful for LTEGL’s partnership and look forward to collaborating with them in bringing this world-class technology to India.”

Mr 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 asignificant 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.”

Mr. Thomas Bohner, CEO of John Cockerill Energy commented, “We are extremely happy to partner with LTEGL in exploring and leveraging opportunities to make India’s manufacturing sector sustainable and efficient. Our CSP and TES technologies are leading the way forrenewable and dispatchable power and heat projects, from small to large scale, on and off- grid, on a worldwide basis. With our expertise and references, including 5 state-of-the-art solar thermal receivers for concentrating solar power plants in the United Arab Emirates, China, Chile and South Africa, we are confident that this partnership with LTEGL will enable us to deliver these offerings to companies in India that are actively pursuing low carbon energy solutions.”
