JSW Energy Halol Wind Blade Facility Commissioned

JSW Energy informed the stock exchanges that it has successfully commissioned its wind blade manufacturing plant at Halol, Gujarat, marking a significant step towards vertically integrating its wind energy value chain and strengthening supply chain capabilities.

The facility has an annual production capacity of up to 450 wind blades, equivalent to 600 MW of wind power projects. The plant will manufacture 82-metre wind blades designed for 4 MW Wind Turbine Generators.

The company also stated that another wind blade manufacturing facility at Chitradurga, Karnataka, is in advanced stages of commissioning.

Supports Renewable Energy Expansion

JSW Energy currently operates 3.9 GW of installed wind energy capacity. In addition, the company has 6.5 GW of locked-in hybrid capacity, where wind forms a key component, and 2.4 GW of locked-in standalone wind projects.

The company said the new manufacturing capability will help de-risk its supply chain, support domestic content requirements and improve project economics by reducing Logistics and other input costs associated with wind energy projects.

The facility is also expected to reduce exposure to fluctuations in wind blade input costs while supporting future renewable energy expansion plans.
