Juniper Green Energy has announced the completion of the Jalkot solar power project in Maharashtra, bolstering the region’s energy landscape with a 105 MW of solar power. This milestone highlights Juniper Green Energy’s commitment to advancing India’s renewable energy sector. Remarkably, the project has been commissioned ahead of schedule, nearly 9 months prior to the scheduled COD, showcasing Juniper Green Energy’s dedication to efficient project execution.
The Jalkot solar power project shall deliver power under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with MSEDCL which exemplifies a commitment to both economic value and environmental stewardship.
Expected to produce approximately 200 MUs annually, the project contributes to reducing Maharashtra’s carbon emissions by an estimated 1,78,569 tCO2 each year. Furthermore, it will provide power to about 38,085 households, supporting the state’s transition to more sustainable energy sources.
On the commissioning, Naresh Mansukhani, CEO of Juniper Green Energy, expressed his appreciation for the team’s efforts: “The start of operations of this project almost 9 months before the SCOD of the project is a tribute to our team’s exceptional work. It’s their perseverance and dedication to sustainability that have made this day possible. I am immensely proud of the strides we are making in renewable energy and look forward to continuing this path with the unwavering spirit and innovation that characterize our team.”
