SJVN Commissions 75 MW Jamui Solar Power Project in Bihar.

SJVN has achieved the Commercial Operation Date (COD) of its 75 MW Jamui Solar Power Project in Bihar’s Jamui district, marking another milestone in the company’s renewable energy expansion.

The project has been developed through SJVN’s wholly owned subsidiary, SJVN Green Energy Ltd (SGEL), at an estimated cost of ₹1,342 crore. It is spread across around 300 acres of land near Hadhadiya and Kakanchaur villages in Jamui district.

SJVN said the project is expected to generate around 90 million units of electricity in its first year of operation and approximately 3,522 million units over 25 years. The power generated will be supplied to Bihar at a tariff of ₹2.96 per unit.

The company said the competitive tariff will help provide affordable and clean power to consumers in the state.

The project is also expected to support local employment and economic activity. According to SJVN, it has created around 15-20 direct employment opportunities and approximately 5,100 indirect employment opportunities.

The 75 MW project was developed following a tender floated by the Bihar Renewable Energy Development Agency (BREDA), Government of Bihar.

SJVN said the project is estimated to reduce carbon emissions by around 82,250.74 tonnes, contributing to India’s decarbonisation goals and its target of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.

The commissioning of the Jamui project further strengthens SGEL’s renewable energy portfolio and supports SJVN’s plans to expand its presence in the clean energy sector across India.
