Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd (SJVN Ltd) has secured a Letter of Intent from the Government of Mizoram to develop the 2,400 MW Darzo Lui Pumped Storage Project, marking the company's entry into the state. This domestic project, estimated to cost Rs 13,947.50 crores, involves constructing a pumped storage facility on Darzo Nallah, a Tuipui river tributary. The project, comprising eight 300 MW units, is expected to generate 4,993.20 MU annually while consuming 6,331.66 MU for pumping. The project is scheduled for completion within 72 months, with a formal agreement between SJVN and the Government of Mizoram to be signed within three months. The transaction is deemed to be at arm's length.
Earlier, SJVN's subsidiary, SGEL, signed an MoU with AM Green Ammonia to collaborate on renewable energy supply for the latter's large-scale green ammonia project in Andhra Pradesh. SGEL plans to develop 4,500 MW of solar and wind projects to meet the energy needs of this project, marking its entry into the commercial and industrial segment. Both companies will explore innovative commercial frameworks, including dollar-denominated tariffs, to ensure competitive pricing and adequate returns for SGEL.
The company is on rapid progression to achieve its shared vision of 25,000 MW by 2030 & 50,000 MW by 2040. This shared vision has been formulated in sync with the commitment of the Government of India to generate 50 per cent of energy from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030.
