JSW Energy has signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with the West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company (WBSEDCL) for a 1,600 MW (2×800 MW) thermal power plant in Salboni. This greenfield project, the largest of its kind for the company, is set to be completed in five years and will utilize domestic linkage coal allocated to West Bengal.
The agreement ensures that the entire power output is secured under a 25-year contract with the state, strengthening energy security and supporting economic growth. The project is expected to create significant employment opportunities and contribute to the industrial development of the region.
