From ESS News

Lucky Cement, a large producer and exporter of cement in Pakistan, will soon host the country’s largest battery energy storage system (BESS), with a 20.7 MW/22.7 MWh facility getting an update from leadership. It will be located at its 34 MW captive solar power plant at the Pezu facility in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Developed with Reon Energy and powered by batteries from China's Contemporary Amperex Technology Ltd. (CATL), the project marks Pakistan’s largest industrial energy storage deployment to date.

The BESS is designed to absorb solar intermittency, provide spinning reserve, and enable the shutdown of fossil fuel generators during daylight hours – a major stride toward grid independence and operational resilience.
