JSW Energy Commits ₹14,000 Crore to Boost O2 Power’s Renewable Energy Capacity

JSW Energy plans to invest around ₹14,000 crore to boost the renewable energy output of its recently acquired subsidiary, O2 Power, elevating its capacity to 4.7 GW by 2027. Currently, O2 Power operates at 1.3 GW.

The acquisition of O2 Power’s 4,696 MW renewable portfolio was completed by JSW Neo Energy Ltd, a JSW Energy subsidiary, for an enterprise value of ₹12,468 crore. Of this capacity, 2,259 MW is expected to be operational by June 2025. While an additional 1,463 MW is under construction, and 974 MW is in the pipeline.

Capex Plans and Project Execution Timeline

The company has outlined capital expenditure of ₹15,000-18,000 crore for FY26, which will go towards completing current developments and initiating new growth opportunities. For FY25, the spending was significantly lower at around ₹8,000 crore, attributed to project delays and a strategic focus on inorganic expansion. 

The management clarified that this temporary cutback was deliberate to realign resources with new acquisition-led growth. Looking ahead, JSW Energy is constructing 11.3 GW worth of generation capacity, all secured under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), ensuring revenue stability.

Diversified Project Pipeline 

Of the 11.3 GW under development, 9.7 GW comprises renewable energy projects, while 1.6 GW represents the Salboni ultra-supercritical thermal project-marking JSW Energy’s return to greenfield thermal ventures after over 10 years. Additionally, the company has a strong pipeline of approximately 4.9 GW, backed by Letters of Intent or Awards.

On the thermal front, the firm is integrating the 3,600 MW KSK Mahanadi asset, acquired through the NCLT process for ₹16,084 crore, with 1,800 MW already operational and 95% of it secured through PPAs and fuel supply agreements. The integration aims to enhance cost efficiency and operational synergy.
