Juniper Green schedules 3,294 MWp for delivery by 2027

Juniper Green Energy has scheduled 3,294 megawatt-peak (MWp) of power purchase agreement (PPA)-signed projects for expected commercial operation date (COD) or plant readiness from November 2026 to December 2027. Juniper Green’s contracted construction portfolio includes 3,485 megawatt-hours (MWh) of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity, with 1,431 MWp listed for June 2027.

What is Juniper Green's contracted commissioning schedule?

Juniper Green’s schedule begins with 369 MWp expected between November and December 2026. This group includes the 70 MWp Juniper Green Spark Four Private Limited wind-solar hybrid (WSH) project, due in November 2026, and Juniper Green ETA Five Private Limited at 135 MWp, Juniper Green Power Five Private Limited at 26 MWp, and two Juniper Green Stellar Private Limited firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) entries totalling 138 MWp, all due by December 2026.

March 2027 is the next major delivery point, with 727 MWp across three projects. Juniper Green Sigma Eight Private Limited, an FDRE project with 192 MWp, is expected to be ready in March 2027, alongside two Juniper Green Beta Private Limited WSH entries of 298 MWp and 237 MWp. The two Beta entries together represent 535 MWp of the March 2027 programme.

June 2027 contains the largest concentration of scheduled contracted capacity, at 1,431 MWp across three FDRE projects. Juniper Green Light Ten Private Limited is listed at 480 MWp, Juniper Green Beta Six Private Limited at 500 MWp, and Juniper Green Bess Zeta Private Limited at 451 MWp. The presentation reports the complete under-construction contracted portfolio at 3,294 MWp, with the final listed readiness dates running through December 2027.

Which projects are scheduled after June 2027?

Juniper Green has listed 100 MWp of wind capacity for July 2027, through Juniper Green Bess Two Private Limited. This project has operational General Network Access (GNA), the grid-access arrangement shown in the schedule, while its expected COD or plant readiness is July 2027.

September 2027 includes the 500 MWp Juniper Green Cosmic Private Limited FDRE project. Its GNA timeline and expected readiness are both September 2027, and its listed BESS capacity is 938 MWh, the largest storage allocation among the contracted projects.

The final two listed project milestones are a 50 MWp Juniper Green Bess Delta Private Limited wind project expected in November 2027 and a 116 MWp Juniper Nirjara Energy Private Limited FDRE project expected in December 2027. Bess Delta has operational GNA, while Nirjara has a September 2027 GNA timeline and a December 2027 plant-readiness date.

How much battery storage does Juniper Green's plan include?

Juniper Green’s contracted construction portfolio includes 3,485 MWh of BESS capacity, all attached to FDRE projects. The portfolio table identifies 2,378 MWp of FDRE capacity within the 3,294 MWp contracted group, compared with 767 MWp of WSH and 150 MWp of wind capacity.

The largest individual storage allocations are 938 MWh at Juniper Green Cosmic Private Limited, 884 MWh at Juniper Green Light Ten Private Limited, and 784 MWh at Juniper Green Beta Six Private Limited. Juniper Green Bess Zeta Private Limited adds 362 MWh, Juniper Green Sigma Eight Private Limited adds 281 MWh, and Juniper Nirjara Energy Private Limited adds 235 MWh.

The storage schedule is staggered ahead of, or alongside, plant-readiness dates. Cosmic’s BESS installation is described as phased commissioning from October 2026 onwards, while Light Ten and Bess Zeta are described as phased commissioning from April 2027 onwards. Sigma Eight is scheduled for BESS installation in March 2027, Beta Six in June 2027, and Nirjara in December 2026.

How does Juniper Green's contracted portfolio compare with operations?

Juniper Green’s PPA-signed projects under construction exceed its operating generation portfolio by 450 MWp. The operational portfolio is reported at 2,844 MWp and 604 MWh of BESS, compared with 3,294 MWp and 3,485 MWh for the contracted construction portfolio.

The difference is larger for storage than for generation capacity. The contracted portfolio adds 2,881 MWh of BESS relative to the 604 MWh operating total, while its 3,485 MWh is concentrated in six FDRE entries. The operational portfolio includes 1,322 MWp of solar, whereas the contracted construction table contains WSH, FDRE and wind entries but no standalone solar category.

Across operational and contracted projects, Juniper Green reports a subtotal of 6,139 MWp and 4,089 MWh of BESS. A further 5,079 MWp and 4,900 MWh are classified as under construction with letters of award received, taking the total portfolio to 11,218 MWp and 8,989 MWh. The presentation says FDRE and WSH account for 84% of the total portfolio and gives a weighted-average tariff of Rs 3.70 per kilowatt-hour.

What supports Juniper Green's contracted construction projects?

Juniper Green lists all 15 contracted under-construction entries in its PPA-signed table, where each project is marked “Adopted” for tariff adoption and “Secured” for connectivity. The listed counterparties are NTPC, NHPC, SJVN, SECI, GUVNL, MSEDCL and Tata Power Company Limited.

The June 2027 FDRE projects illustrate the range of contracted tariffs and counterparties. Light Ten is contracted with NHPC at Rs 4.64 per kilowatt-hour, Beta Six with NTPC at Rs 4.69 per kilowatt-hour, and Bess Zeta with SJVN at Rs 4.25 per kilowatt-hour. Cosmic, planned for September 2027, is contracted with NHPC at Rs 4.37 per kilowatt-hour.

Grid access varies by project even where readiness dates align. Light Ten, Beta Six and Bess Zeta each show June 2027 GNA timelines matching their June 2027 expected readiness, while Cosmic shows September 2027 for both measures. The two Juniper Green Beta Private Limited WSH projects, totalling 535 MWp, also show matching March 2027 GNA and readiness timelines.

Conclusion

Juniper Green’s disclosed plan centres on 3,294 MWp of PPA-signed projects scheduled for readiness or COD between November 2026 and December 2027. The programme is weighted toward FDRE, which accounts for 2,378 MWp and all 3,485 MWh of contracted storage, while June 2027 is the largest listed delivery period at 1,431 MWp.

The next disclosed milestones are BESS commissioning from October 2026 for Cosmic and from April 2027 for Light Ten and Bess Zeta, followed by the March, June and September 2027 GNA and readiness dates. Delivery against those stated grid-access and plant-readiness milestones will determine the timing of the planned capacity additions.
