Key Points
- JSW Energy secures 400 MW PPA with Karnataka DISCOMs.
- Agreement begins April 1, 2026, lasting 25 years.
- Electricity sold at Rs 5.78/kWh for 25 years.
- Reduces JSW Energy’s open capacity to just 5%.
- Total locked-in capacity now at 30.5 GW.
- Significant investment in energy storage: 30 GWh planned.
This Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) is a long-term contract. It means JSW Energy is committed to supplying power for a very long time. Reducing their ‘open capacity’ is a good thing because it helps them plan for the future and makes their business more predictable.
JSW Energy already has a lot of power-making projects. They now have a total of 30.5 gigawatts (GW) of power that’s ‘locked in’. This means they’ve already made deals to use the electricity they’ll produce.
This includes 13.3 GW of power plants that are already working, 12.4 GW that are being built, and 150 MW of hydroelectric plants they’re getting. They’re also planning to build another 4.6 GW of power in the future.
They’re not just focusing on electricity; they’re also investing in storing it. They’ve secured 29.4 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of energy storage, with a large part of it being pumped hydro projects (using water to store energy) and battery storage systems.
These investments in both electricity generation and storage help JSW Energy to be reliable and secure their future revenue.
“Strategic investments in capacity and storage drive JSW Energy’s long-term growth and financial stability.”
