JSW Energy Plants


JSW Energy's primary business is setting up power generation plants. Some of its marquee projects include:

Baspa


Located in the challenging environs of the Himalayas, this plant generates 300 MW of power by employing a run-of-the-river mechanism. A key feature of the project is that no resettlement or relocation has been carried out since its establishment. The project commenced operations in 2013.

Karcham Wangtoo


This plant in Kinnaur, Himachal Pradesh dams the River Satluj to reach a generating capacity of 1,091 MW. The project required extensive tunnelling of the Himalayan geology to bring power to the region.

Barmer


Powered by neighbouring lignite mines in Kapurdi and Jalipa, the Barmer plant is operated by Raj WestPower Limited. It was acquired by JSW Energy in 2006. The aforementioned mines were amongst the assets acquired in the venture. The highlight here is a dedicated, 185 km pipeline constructed to source water from the Indira Gandhi Canal.

Vijaynagar


Rated high by the Central Electricity Authority for its efficiency, the plant is split between two separate units that utilise blends of imported coal and gas to generate a combined capacity of 860 MW.

Size of the Indian power industry


Over the last decade, India's power sector has seen ₹1,639 crore of foreign direct investment (FDI). It accounts for 2.71% of the total FDI inflow in the country. Power demand is only growing with time, requiring continuing investments across fuel, generation, infrastructure and delivery. This has seen the rise of several public and private sector players rushing to supply the deficits.

Industry growth prospects


India's power sector is already well on its way to allocating resources toward meeting demand using a mix of renewable and non-renewable energy. Increasing institutional focus on issues facing the power industry has also seen the introduction of policy efforts to ease growth.

The 2021 National Electricity Policy promises support for efficient transmission systems, a relaxed regulatory environment and the promotion of sustainable electricity generation.

As of September 2022, India's power sector stood at a total installed capacity of 407.8 GW, 40.4% of which comes from renewable sources. The sector is set to double power generation with a target of 817 GW by 2029, increasing renewable share to 61.2%.


JSW Energy growth prospects


The growth roadmap for JSW Energy is led by renewable power generation. The company plans to increase its output to a total of 20 GW by 2030, 81% of which will be renewable. It has commenced work on several projects following that goal. Meanwhile, the company has also been experimenting with battery energy storage, green hydrogen and other energy products through its various subsidiaries.

Risks and concerns

  • While the demand for electricity increases by the hour, the availability of raw fuel consistently remains a constraint for most of India's conventional power generation systems. Rising spot prices for international coal and gas imports further complicate the matter.
  • Solar project developers are looking at costly solar modules whose prices are subject to import tariffs the government has introduced to promote domestic manufacturing. However, there is a long road ahead for domestic manufacturing capacity to catch up with demand.
