SJVN Green Energy Limited (SGEL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SJVN Limited, has secured Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for 300 MW of Renewable Energy Projects. The PPAs consist of a 200 MW Solar Power Project with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL) in Mumbai and a 100 MW Wind Power Project with Solar Energy Corporation of India Limited (SECI) in Delhi.

The 200 MW Ground Mounted Solar Project in Maharashtra, with an estimated development cost of Rs 1,200 crore, was acquired by SGEL at a tariff of Rs 2.90 per unit through a competitive bidding process during an e-reverse auction organized by MSEDCL. The project is scheduled for commissioning in December 2024, and it is projected to generate 456 MU in its first year, with an expected cumulative energy generation of approximately 10,481 MUs over a span of 25 years.

Similarly, the 100 MW Wind Power Project, with an estimated development cost of Rs 750 crore, was secured by SGEL at Rs 2.90 per unit on a Build Own and Operate basis through an e-reverse auction. The project is planned for commissioning in March 2025, and its first-year energy generation is projected to be around 289.27 MUs. Over a period of 25 years, it is expected to generate approximately 7,231.75 MUs.

The commissioning of these projects is expected to have a positive impact on the environment by reducing approximately 8,67,916 Tonnes of carbon emissions, aligning with the Government of India’s mission to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070. In light of the government’s ambitious target of generating 500 GW of energy from non-fossil sources by 2030, the company has taken a proactive approach to developing renewable energy.

By actively adding significant renewable projects to its portfolio, the Company is making substantial progress towards realizing its Shared Vision of achieving 5,000 MW installed capacity by 2023-24, 25,000 MW by 2030, and ultimately reaching 50,000 MW installed capacity by 2040.
