JSW Neo Energy (JSWNEL), a subsidiary of JSW Energy, has decided to acquire three wind energy projects of Hetero Wind Power with a cumulative capacity of 125 MW for an enterprise value of ₹6.3 billion (~$74.93 million).

The company recently executed definitive agreements with the Hetero Group to acquire its three wind power special purpose vehicles – Hetero Wind Power, Hetero Wind Power (Pennar), and Hetero Med Solutions.

JSW will acquire 100% shares in Hetero Wind Power (Pennar) and Hetero Med Solutions and 74% shares in Hetero Wind Power, where the captive consumer will continue to hold ~26% shares.

These wind projects operate primarily in Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, and have long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs).

The acquisition is expected to be completed within 90 days.

The three target companies’ cumulative revenue from operations in FY 2023-24 was ₹1.44 billion (~$17.12 million).

Jindal Energy has set a target of reaching 20 GW of renewable energy capacity before 2030. The acquisition would help the company achieve its targeted growth of 10 GW by FY 2025.

JSW Energy has a total locked-in generation capacity of 18.2 GW, comprising 7.7 GW operational, 2.1 GW under construction across wind, thermal, and hydro, and an 8.3 GW renewable energy pipeline. The company also has 16.2 GWh of locked-in energy storage capacity through a battery energy storage system and a hydro-pumped storage project.

In October 2024, Jindal Neo Energy was among the three companies that won MSEDCL’s auction to supply 1,650 MW of wind-solar hybrid power from grid-connected intrastate projects with a greenshoe option of up to 1,650 MW.

In the same month, JSW Energy PSP Two, a subsidiary of JSW Energy, signed an energy storage facility agreement with MSEDCL to supply 1,500 MW/12,000 MWh of power from pumped hydro storage projects.

In September, JSW Neo Energy was one of the winners in Solar Energy Corporation of India’s auction to set up 1,000 MW/2,000 MWh standalone battery energy storage systems. JSW Neo quoted a tariff of ₹381,000 (~$4542)/MW per month for a capacity of 500 MW/1000 MWh.
