JSL, Sunsure Sign Solar PPA To Source Power From UP Project

Sunsure Energy said it has signed an 11 MWp long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with JSL Super Steel, a Ghaziabad-based unit of Jindal Stainless Ltd, to supply solar power from its 49 MWp project in Augasi, Uttar Pradesh.

The recent Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) between Sunsure Energy, an independent power producer, with JSL Super Steel, will displace nearly 40% of its conventional energy consumption with clean power. This project will be a part of the Uttar Pradesh State Power Banking Policy, aligning with the state’s vision for energy security and efficient power management.

Sunsure Energy’s Partnership With JSL Super Steel

Sunsure Energy’s partnership with JSL Super Steel will enable JSL Super Steel to receive 16.5 million units (MUs) of clean energy annually. This move aligns with India’s growing push for green steel production, an industry-wide transformation that aims to curb emissions in one of the most energy-intensive sectors.

Commenting on this development, Wholetime Director and Chief Operating Officer, Jindal Stainless, Jagmohan Sood said, “By integrating renewable energy into our production processes, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also setting new benchmarks for the metal industry in India. As leaders in the stainless steel industry, we deem it our responsibility to usher in cleaner routes of production such as introduction of green hydrogen, use of biofuels, increasing renewable energy share from the grid, etc. at every step of the value chain.”

Shashank Sharma, Founder, Chairman, and CEO, of Sunsure Energy while speaking at the signing ceremony, said, “As industries align with India’s ambitious renewable energy targets, collaborations like this set a powerful precedent for responsible growth.
