Juniper Green Energy has announced the commencement of operations of the 105 MW Jalkot solar power project in Maharashtra. The project has been completed ahead of schedule, nearly 9 months prior to the project’s originally planned commercial operation date. The Jalkot solar power project will provide power as a part of a 25-year power purchase agreement with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited.
The project is expected to generate about 200 million units per yearr, which translates into an estimated 178,569 tonnes reduction in Maharashtra’s carbon emissions annually. In addition, it will facilitate the state’s switch to more environmentally friendly energy sources by supplying electricity to around 38,085 families.
In February 2024, Juniper Green Energy collaborated with Envision Energy to set up a 300-MW wind energy project in Gujarat.
In January 2024, Juniper Green Energy and government of Gujarat signed a MoU to set up 1,000 MW of wind and solar projects within the state, involving a significant investment of Rs 80 billion.
