India’s First FDRE Project Commissioned by Juniper Green Energy
In a landmark move for India’s renewable energy sector, Juniper Green Energy has announced the commissioning of the nation’s first Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project. This pioneering initiative represents a significant leap forward in addressing the intermittency challenges of renewable power, paving the way for a more stable and reliable green energy grid.
Ushering in a New Era with the India FDRE project
The project is a sophisticated integration of multiple renewable technologies, combining a 259 MWp solar power plant, a 280 MW wind power facility, and a substantial 200 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Strategically spread across the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat, this hybrid model is engineered to provide consistent and schedulable power to the grid, a crucial step in India’s transition away from fossil fuels.
This innovative approach ensures that clean energy is available not just when the sun is shining or the wind is blowing, but around the clock, mimicking the reliability of traditional power sources.
Project Framework and Partnerships
The FDRE project was awarded to Juniper Green Energy under a competitive tender floated by SJVN Limited. This tender is part of the SJVN FDRE Scheme, which aligns with the Government of India’s flagship guidelines to promote firm and dispatchable renewable power.

Under the terms of the agreement, Juniper has signed a 200 MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with SJVN. In turn, SJVN has secured a back-to-back Power Sale Agreement (PSA) with the Haryana Power Purchase Centre (HPPC). This structure ensures that the clean power generated will be supplied directly to the state of Haryana, contributing to its renewable energy goals.
Key Milestones and Industry Leadership
Juniper Green Energy has demonstrated remarkable efficiency in executing this complex project. The solar component achieved commercial operations in March 2026, followed by the commissioning of the BESS in April 2026. This makes Juniper the first developer from the SJVN tender to begin commissioning and supplying power to the grid.
This achievement builds upon Juniper’s track record of innovation, including the development of India’s first merchant BESS in Bikaner. By successfully commissioning the country’s inaugural FDRE project, the company solidifies its position as a leader in advancing the next generation of renewable energy solutions in India. This project serves as a powerful blueprint for future developments, promising a greener and more energy-secure future for the nation.
