Sembcorp Green Infra Secures 150 MW Firm And Dispatchable Renewable Energy Project Under SJVN’s 6,000 MWh Tender

Sembcorp Industries, through its wholly owned renewable energy subsidiary, Sembcorp Green Infra Private Limited, has secured a 150 MW Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project from SJVN Limited. This project follows the build-own-operate model and is part of SJVN’s 6,000 MWh (1,500 MW x 4 hours) tender, aimed at providing assured peak power through renewable energy projects connected to the Inter-State Transmission System and integrated with energy storage systems.

To deliver the contracted capacity, Sembcorp plans to develop approximately 750 MW of renewable assets comprising a mix of solar power generation and battery energy storage systems (BESS). Once a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) is finalized with SJVN, the project is expected to achieve commercial operation within 24 months. It will be financed through a combination of internal funds and debt, reflecting Sembcorp’s commitment to expanding its renewable energy footprint in India.

Mr. A Nithyanand, CEO of Renewables Business, India, Sembcorp Industries, expressed that this FDRE award represents a key milestone in the company’s mission to deliver reliable and sustainable energy solutions. He noted that with a secured development pipeline of over 4 GW in solar and wind energy, along with more than 1.4 GWh of battery energy storage systems, Sembcorp is well positioned to meet India’s growing need for flexible and round-the-clock renewable power. With this latest project win, Sembcorp’s total renewable energy capacity in India has now exceeded 7.6 GW. On a global scale, the company’s renewable energy portfolio stands at 20.1 GW, which includes acquisitions that are currently pending completion.
