JSW Energy commissions wind blade manufacturing facility in Gujarat
The company currently operates an installed wind energy capacity of 3.9 GW. It also has 6.5 GW of locked-in hybrid capacity, where wind is a key component, along with 2.4 GW of locked-in standalone wind projects, making it one of the country's largest wind power developers.
To support its renewable energy expansion plans, JSW Energy has commissioned the Halol facility, while another wind blade manufacturing plant at Chitradurga, Karnataka, is in the advanced stages of commissioning.
The Halol facility has an annual production capacity of up to 450 wind blades, equivalent to supporting around 600 MW of wind power projects. The plant will manufacture 82-metre blades designed for 4 MW wind turbine generators.
According to the company, the in-house manufacturing capability will help de-risk its supply chain, support the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy's (MNRE) domestic content requirements, and optimise capital expenditure by lowering logistics and input costs.
The move is also expected to improve project returns by enhancing internal rates of return (IRR) and reducing exposure to fluctuations in wind blade prices, the company said.
JSW Energy has a total locked-in generation capacity of 32.1 GW, comprising 13.7 GW operational and 13.8 GW under construction across thermal, hydro, and renewables, with a pipeline of 4.6 GW. The company also has 29.6 GWh of locked-in energy storage capacity, comprising pumped hydro storage of 26.4 GWh and battery energy storage systems of 3.2 GWh. The company aims to reach 30 GW of generation capacity and 40 GWh of energy storage capacity by 2030, and to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
Sharad Mahendra, Joint Managing Director and CEO of JSW Energy The commissioning of our Halol wind blade manufacturing plant is a defining milestone in our journey towards building a resilient and self-reliant renewable energy platform.
