Zelestra has secured a contract from SJVN Limited to supply firm and dispatchable renewable energy in Maharashtra. The project will integrate 250 MW DC solar, 180 MW wind power, and a 90 MWh battery energy storage system to ensure reliable supply during peak hours. Located in Solapur, the project will be developed, constructed, owned, and operated by Zelestra, with operations expected to commence in 2027.
The hybrid project is expected to generate over 815 GWh of electricity annually, potentially meeting the energy needs of more than 225,000 households. Additionally, it is estimated to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 0.7 million tonnes per year.
In October 2024, Zelestra secured 140 MW of firm and renewable dispatchable project at a tariff of Rs 4.25 per kWh in SJVN’s 1,200 MW (FDRE II) auction.
