Overview
About the Company
Juniper Green Energy Limited is an independent power producer based in India that develops, builds, owns, operates, and maintains utility-scale grid-connected renewable energy assets. Its project portfolio spans solar, wind, wind-solar hybrid, and firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) configurations, some of which incorporate battery energy storage systems. Revenue is primarily earned through the sale of electricity under long-term power purchase agreements lasting 20–25 years with central and state government bodies and electricity distribution companies. Supplementary income is generated through merchant power sales on energy exchanges, short-term bilateral PPAs, and the sale of voluntary emission reductions and renewable energy certificates. The company's operational projects are situated in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh, and it manages the full project lifecycle from site selection, land acquisition, and grid connectivity through to engineering, procurement, construction, and ongoing plant operations.

⚠️ Risks
- ! A significant portion of revenues is concentrated among two off-takers, GUVNL and MSEDCL, creating customer concentration risk.
- ! The company is heavily reliant on third-party suppliers for critical equipment, with the top 10 suppliers accounting for the majority of total procurement spend.
- ! All renewable energy projects are geographically concentrated in four states — Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh — exposing the company to regional risks.
- ! The business is capital-intensive with substantial debt, making it susceptible to interest rate volatility and restrictive covenants imposed by lenders.
- ! Operational and financial risks arise from potential project delays, tariff cuts, or penalties if land acquisition, rights-of-way, or grid connectivity milestones are not met on time.
