India’s L&T Energy Green Tech (LTEGL) has entered a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Belgium-based engineering company John Cockerill to explore collaborative opportunities in concentrated solar power (CSP) and thermal energy storage (TES).
Under the MoU, LTEGL and John Cockerill will explore opportunities for collaboration in manufacturing, component supply and engineering solutions, which are essential for the execution and deployment of CSP and TES projects.

John Cockerill Energy CEO Thomas Bohner stated: “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 for renewable 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 five 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.”
LTEGL, a subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), focuses on green hydrogen, its derivatives and electrolyser manufacturing.
L&T Energy green manufacturing and development senior vice-president and head Derek Shah 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.”
John Cockerill’s expertise spans heat recovery steam generators, CSP plant receivers, green electricity production and storage units, industrial boilers and Hamon cooling systems.
John Cockerill regional president and group transformation officer Vivek Bhide stated: “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.”
In January 2025, Masdar announced that Larsen & Toubro and POWERCHINA have been selected as preferred engineering procurement and construction contractors for a solar photovoltaic and battery storage gigascale project in Abu Dhabi.
