JSL Super Steel Teams Up with Sunsure Energy for 11 MWp Solar Power

JSL Super Steel, a subsidiary of Jindal Stainless, has taken a significant step towards sustainability by entering into a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Sunsure Energy. The agreement involves the procurement of 11 MWp of solar energy from Sunsure's 49 MWp solar facility in Augasi, Uttar Pradesh. This collaboration aims to reduce JSL Super Steel's reliance on conventional energy, as the solar power is expected to replace nearly 40 per cent of the energy consumption at its Ghaziabad facility.

The partnership is in line with the Uttar Pradesh State Power Banking Policy, which supports energy security and promotes sustainable energy solutions. The solar power supplied under this agreement is expected to generate 16.5 million units of electricity annually, helping JSL Super Steel to avoid approximately 12 million kilograms of carbon emissions per year. This reduction in emissions is comparable to the environmental benefit of planting over 545,000 trees.

This initiative is part of India's broader push towards green steel production, a movement gaining momentum in the country’s metal sector. The collaboration between JSL Super Steel and Sunsure Energy highlights the growing importance of renewable energy in industrial operations. JSL Super Steel’s efforts contribute to the sustainability goals of its parent company, Jindal Stainless, which has already reduced over 310,000 tonnes of CO? emissions in the past three years and is aiming for Net Zero emissions by 2050. The company is also investing in green hydrogen technology and plans to allocate Rs 7 billion towards decarbonization projects in the next five years. Sunsure Energy, with a strong presence in Uttar Pradesh, serves over 70 industrial clients and has an operational capacity of 160 MW in the state.
