JSW Energy crosses 15 GW installed capacity, adds 1,572 MW in FY27

JSW Energy Limited crossed the 15 GW installed capacity milestone after commissioning 1,572 MW of generation capacity since April 2026, taking its total operational capacity to 15,025 MW, the company said in a regulatory filing made under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015, dated September 4, 2026.

According to a media release accompanying the filing, the milestone was achieved less than six quarters after the company crossed 10 GW in March 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 26 per cent, which the company said underscored its execution capabilities and consistent progress against its growth roadmap.

The capacity added in FY27 so far comprised 1,272 MW of renewable energy capacity, including 593 MW of solar, 108 MW of wind, 420 MW of hybrid and 150 MW of hydro projects, along with 300 MW of inorganic thermal capacity, the release said. Renewable energy now accounts for more than 60 per cent, or 9,067 MW, of the company’s operational portfolio, comprising 3,125 MW of wind, 2,426 MW of solar, 1,735 MW of hybrid and 1,781 MW of hydro capacity, while its thermal portfolio stands at 5,958 MW. The company said it remained on track to meet its greenfield capacity addition target of 3 GW for FY2027, having achieved approximately 42 per cent of that target to date.

JSW Energy has a total locked-in generation capacity of 32.4 GW, comprising 15.0 GW operational and 13.4 GW under construction across thermal, hydro and renewable assets, along with a further pipeline of 4.0 GW, the company said. Its locked-in energy storage capacity stands at 29.6 GWh, comprising 26.4 GWh of pumped hydro storage and 3.2 GWh of battery energy storage, which the company said would position it to supply firm, round-the-clock power as the sector shifts from energy supply toward dispatchability.

The company is targeting 30 GW of generation capacity and 40 GWh of energy storage by 2030, along with carbon neutrality by 2050, according to the release. JSW Energy began commercial operations in 2000 with the commissioning of its first 2×130 MW thermal power plants at Vijayanagar, Karnataka, and has since scaled its generation capacity from 260 MW to 15.0 GW. The company is part of the USD 25 billion JSW Group, which also has interests in steel, infrastructure and cement, among other sectors.
