Juniper Commissions 72 MWp Solar Component of Hybrid Project in Maharashtra

Juniper Green Energy announces the successful commissioning of an additional ~72 MWp solar component of its ~133 MWp hybrid power project. 

The milestone was achieved in District Solapur, Maharashtra, through its subsidiary Juniper Green Spark Ten Private Limited. The plant, commissioned on January 10, 2026, was completed 10 months ahead of schedule.

With this, Juniper Green Energy has commissioned its solar capacity across two phases — approximately 36 MWp on 25 September 2025, followed by 72 MWp on 10 January 2026. 

Hybrid Project: Wind and Solar

The overall Juniper Green Spark Ten Project has a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) capacity of 133 MWp Hybrid, comprising a contracted 108 MWp of solar and an additional 25 MW of installed wind capacity. The PPA for this project was signed on November 18, 2024, with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Limited (MSEDCL), and the Scheduled Commercial Operation Date (SCOD) is set for November 17, 2026.

The commissioning of this solar component marks a crucial step towards the full operationalisation of the hybrid project.

"With the project’s solar component now fully operational, Juniper Green Energy has once again demonstrated its ability to commission projects ahead of schedule. This achievement highlights our significant contribution to India's increasing need for clean energy,” said Ankush Malik, Chief Executive Officer, Juniper Green Energy.

Juniper Green Energy continues to focus on developing and commissioning renewable energy projects, strengthening its footprint in the Indian renewable energy landscape. This follows the recent commissioning of India’s first operational merchant BESS by the company. Once fully commissioned, the project will become one of the largest operating BESS projects in India. 

The company’s current operational capacity now stands at 1.66 GWp.
