JSW Energy Subsidiary Signs JV Agreement for 920 MW Bhutan Hydro Project
JSW Energy's subsidiary, JSW Neo Energy, signed an agreement with Bhutan's Druk Green Power Corporation for a 920 MW hydroelectric project in Bhutan. A joint venture will be formed with a 51:49 stake (DGPC:JSWNEL). JSWNEL's initial contribution is BTN 245 million. This is JSW Energy's first power project outside India.
The joint venture for a 920 MW project is a substantial development, marking international expansion and contributing to the company's renewable energy capacity. However, it is a subsidiary's venture and not a direct impact on the parent company's immediate financials, hence medium impact.
The announcement signifies a significant step for JSW Energy by expanding its operations internationally and strengthening its renewable energy portfolio, which is positive for the company's growth prospects.
JSW Neo Energy Limited (JSWNEL), a wholly owned subsidiary of JSW Energy Limited, has executed a Shareholders' Agreement (SHA) with Druk Green Power Corporation Limited (DGPC), a company wholly owned by the Royal Government of Bhutan. This agreement is for the joint development of the 920 MW Punatsangchhu-III Hydroelectric Project located in Bhutan. The project will be developed through a special purpose joint venture company to be incorporated in Bhutan, where DGPC will hold a 51% equity stake and JSWNEL will hold a 49% equity stake. JSWNEL's initial contribution is BTN 245 million, with further infusion based on project development. This marks JSW Energy's first power generation venture outside India. The company aims to reach 30 GW of generation capacity and 40 GWh of energy storage capacity by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. JSW Energy currently has a total locked-in generation capacity of 32.4 GW, comprising 14.9 GW operational and 13.5 GW under construction.
