The project was developed by EAGLE, which entailed an investment of $211 million, which included a contribution of $14 million from JSL.
The first phase with a total capacity of 216 MW, located in Madhya Pradesh, has been commissioned, while the remaining 99.5 MW capacity will be located in Gujarat, which will be commissioned soon, the company said.
The hybrid project combines two-way solar modules with tracker systems along with advanced 3.15 MW wind turbines in a joint configuration. This design allows for a more balanced profile of renewable energy production through the use of both solar and wind resources, increasing the availability of electricity and providing a more stable energy supply for industrial consumption, the company said.
Once fully operational, the project is expected to help JSL reduce carbon emissions by approximately 650,000 tons per year and highlight the growing importance of hybrid renewable solutions to provide reliable clean energy for energy-intensive industries.
