INTEGRATED ANNUAL
REPORT 2022-23
JSW Energy Limited is amongst India’s leading independent power producer with total capacity of 9.8 GW. The Company, which is a part of the USD 23 billion JSW Group, is leading the energy transition in India by scaling its renewable energy capacity upwards and foraying into energy products and services.
Drawing on our firm foundations, and against the backdrop of climate change challenges, we intend to become a Net Zero company before 2050. We aim to achieve this by becoming predominantly a renewable energy company and pivoting towards energy products and services. Today, we are in a strong position to capitalise on India’s growing appetite to reduce emissions.
With our deep sector experience, expertise and portfolio strength, we are working towards our goal to become a 10 GW generating company mainly driven by renewables and are well placed to achieve it ahead of the stated timeline of FY 2025. We aim to double our generation capacity further to 20 GW along with 40 GWh / 5 GW of storage capacity by 2030 and 1 GW of solar module manufacturing capacity by April 2025. These significant milestones demonstrate the ongoing value of our business model in helping tackle the emissions reduction challenge which is critical to our future.
We aim to be India’s leading power generation company, driven by efficient operations and a low carbon footprint. We also aim to transition from pure-play power generation to an energy products and services company.

As a leading player in the energy sector, JSW Energy has formulated a strategic plan to reduce its carbon footprint with an intent to achieve ‘Net Zero’ carbon emissions by 2050, or earlier.
We have set a roadmap of achieving 20 GW generation capacity by 2030, with capacity additions mainly driven by renewables. Also, we have a target for 40 GWh / 5 GW of Energy Storage capacity which is a crucial bridge for energy transition to address intermittency issues with renewable energy generation. We have aligned to various climate-related initiatives such as Science-based Targets Initiative (SBTi), Global Framework for Decarbonising Heavy Industry, Responsible Energy Initiative India and strengthening investments in renewable energy sources, among others.
During the year, the Company initiated TCFD assessment and appointed reputed ESG consultants who have completed the peer group assessment.
Our commitment and progress towards SBTi demonstrates a common, robust and science-based understanding of Net-Zero, to be achieved through inclusive and transparent disclosures. Our commitment towards climate change initiatives and targets have been accepted at the UN ENERGY COMPACT.
The Company has completed the process of reorganisation of its businesses into green and grey whereby the existing and upcoming renewable energy businesses across generation, energy storage, PV module and green hydrogen / ammonia and its derivatives will be housed under JSW Neo Energy.
This reorganisation helps us to build and streamline the renewable portfolio and set up a holding structure for efficient fund-raising and potentially unlocking value for shareholders in future.
