A major highlight of the announcement is the commissioning of Tidong Unit-I after the company acquired the asset in January 2026. JSW Energy stated that the project was completed in a record turnaround time, reflecting the companyโ€™s strong execution capability and its ability to efficiently integrate acquired assets into operations. The commissioning also allows the company to benefit from the ongoing hydro season. The remaining two units of the Tidong Hydro Plant are expected to become operational by June 2026.

With the latest additions, renewable energy now accounts for around 59% of JSW Energyโ€™s total operational capacity. The company currently operates 3,924 MW of wind capacity and 2,440 MW of solar capacity, including hybrid renewable projects. In addition, the companyโ€™s hydro power portfolio has reached 1,681 MW.
