JSW Thermal Energy Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of JSW Energy Limited, has entered into a contract with its associate company, Toshiba JSW Power Systems Private Limited, for the procurement of two steam turbine generators, each with a capacity of 800 MW. These generators are intended for the Salboni Thermal Project located in West Bengal.

The supply of these turbine-generators is scheduled to align with the project's construction timeline, thereby facilitating the timely completion and commissioning of the Salboni plant. By sourcing this critical equipment through an associate company, JSW Energy aims to enhance supply-chain reliability, improve coordination during project execution, and mitigate risks associated with industry-wide equipment shortages.

JSW Energy currently operates a thermal generation capacity of 5,658 MW. With the 1,600 MW Salboni project under construction and an additional 1,800 MW potential at KSK Mahanadi, the company's total thermal capacity is projected to reach 9,058 MW. This expansion will represent approximately 30% of JSW Energy's total locked-in capacity of 30.5 GW, highlighting the balanced contribution of thermal power within its overall generation portfolio.

Mr. Sharad Mahendra, Joint Managing Director and CEO of JSW Energy, stated that the contract with Toshiba JSW is a strategic move to strengthen supply-chain control and ensure execution certainty for the Salboni Thermal Project. He emphasized the long-standing association with Toshiba, dating back to 2008, which is based on shared values of excellence and innovation. The Salboni project is seen as crucial in supporting India's energy security by adding reliable baseload capacity that complements the country's growing renewable energy sector.

JSW Energy has a total locked-in generation capacity of 30.5 GW, including 13.3 GW operational capacity and 12.4 GW under construction across thermal and renewable energy. The company also has 150 MW of hydro capacity under acquisition and a pipeline of 4.6 GW. Furthermore, it has secured 29.4 GWh of energy storage capacity through hydro pumped storage projects (26.4 GWh) and battery energy storage systems (3.0 GWh). The company's long-term objectives include achieving 30 GW of generation capacity and 40 GWh of energy storage capacity by FY 2030, with a commitment to reach Carbon Neutrality by 2050.
