JSW Energy arm signs 400 MW, 25-year power supply pact with Karnataka discoms

JSW Energy (Utkal) has signed a 400 MW, 25-year PPA with Karnataka discoms at Rs 5.78/kWh, reducing its open capacity and expanding locked-in portfolio

EW Bureau

New Delhi: JSW Energy on Friday said its arm JSW Energy (Utkal) Ltd has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with multiple Karnataka discoms for supply of 400 MW of power, starting April 1, 2026. The electricity will be supplied for a tenure of 25 years at a tariff of Rs 5.78 per kWh, a JSW Energy statement said.

Long-term visibility strengthens as open capacity shrinks

With this PPA, JSW Energy’s open capacity reduces to 5 percent of the current operational capacity from about 8 percent, further strengthening long-term revenue visibility and de-risking the company’s generation portfolio.

The company's total locked-in generation capacity now stands at 30.5 GW, comprising 13.3 GW of operational capacity, 12.4 GW under construction across thermal and renewable projects, 150 MW of hydro capacity under acquisition, and a 4.6 GW development pipeline.

Company expands storage footprint, maintains growth targets

It also has 29.4 GWh of locked-in energy storage capacity, including 26.4 GWh of hydro pumped storage projects and 3.0 GWh of battery energy storage systems.

It remains committed to its strategic goals of achieving 30 GW of generation capacity and 40 GWh of energy storage capacity by FY 2030 and is on track to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, it stated.
