L&T wins new mandates in digital energy solutions space
Larsen & Toubro’s Digital Energy Solutions (DES) business, part of its Power Transmission & Distribution arm, has received a mandate to implement Energy Management Systems (EMS) in regional and state load dispatch centres across South India. This project will upgrade control rooms for the Southern Regional Load Dispatch Centre (SRLDC) and the State Load Dispatch Centers (SLDC) of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Puducherry, Tamil Nadu, and Telangana.
