JSW Energy wins 300 MW solar-wind hybrid deal across Rajasthan & Andhra Pradesh.
A 300 MW solar-wind hybrid deal means enough clean energy to power around 6 lakh homes, combining both solar and wind to generate more consistent electricity throughout the day and night.
The deets: JSW Energy’s step-down arm Energizent Power has signed a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA). The project, connected via the inter-state transmission system (ISTS), will be developed across Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh and is set to be commissioned in 24 months.
Why it matters: with this deal, JSW Energy’s locked-in generation portfolio climbs to 29.9 GW, which includes 12.5 GW operational and 12.8 GW under construction. It also has 29.3 GWh in energy storage capacity, including hydro and battery-based systems.
Zoom out: JSW Energy has set a bold target of reaching 30 GW in generation and 40 GWh in storage by FY30, with a long-term goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.
Solar-wind hybrid sector is growing fast as it combines the strengths of both energy sources, solar during the day and wind, often stronger at night to produce more steady and reliable electricity.
With rising power demand and a target of 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, hybrid projects are key to balancing supply, cutting costs, and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
