JSW Energy Orders Equipment for Full Salboni Thermal Project
JSW Energy is building a large power plant called Salboni in West Bengal.
The plant will have four units that can produce 800 megawatts each.
Together, the units will produce 3,200 megawatts.
The company ordered equipment for the final two units from Toshiba JSW Power Systems.
Equipment for the first two units had already been ordered.
JSW Energy says using an associate company may make supplies and construction easier to coordinate.
The plant is expected to provide steady electricity while renewable energy grows in India.
JSW Energy wants to reach 30 gigawatts of generation capacity and 40 gigawatt-hours of storage by 2030.
JSW Energy placed a 1,600 MW Phase-II order with Toshiba JSW Power Systems.
The order covers two 800 MW steam turbine generators for West Bengal’s Salboni project.
The contract completes equipment orders for all four units, totaling 3,200 MW.
JSW Energy has 5,958 MW of installed thermal capacity and 5,000 MW under construction.
The company targets 30 GW of generation capacity and 40 GWh of storage by 2030.
