JSW Energy Commissions 600 MW Wind Blade Manufacturing Plant at Halol, Gujarat
JSW Energy Limited has commissioned its wind blade manufacturing plant at Halol in Gujarat, marking the company's entry into in-house wind component manufacturing. The facility is fully operational and has an annual production capacity of up to 450 wind blades, equivalent to 600 MW of wind power capacity. The plant manufactures 82-metre blades designed for 4 MW wind turbine generators.
The facility is intended to reduce JSW Energy's dependence on external suppliers, meet domestic content requirements, lower logistics and input costs, and improve project returns by insulating operations from wind blade price fluctuations. With 3.9 GW of installed wind energy capacity and 8.9 GW of additional locked-in wind and hybrid projects under development, the company's in-house blade supply capability directly supports its near-term project execution pipeline.
A second wind blade manufacturing plant is in the advanced stages of commissioning at Chitradurga, Karnataka, which will further expand the company's blade production capacity once operational.
JSW Energy has a total locked-in generation capacity of 32.1 GW across operational, under-construction, and pipeline stages. The company has set targets of 30 GW generation capacity and 40 GWh of energy storage capacity by 2030, with a longer-term goal of carbon neutrality by 2050. Investment size for the Halol facility has not been disclosed.
