Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has commissioned a cumulative 3.37 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Khavda, Gujarat, representing the world's largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China. The deployment includes 1.37 GWh capacity commissioned in March 2026, taking AGEL's total operational BESS capacity at Khavda to 3.37 GWh.

The project was delivered within ten months of commencement of on-site construction, marking one of the fastest utility-scale battery storage deployments globally. The system uses lithium-ion battery technologies integrated with advanced energy management systems to optimize efficiency, reliability, and grid responsiveness.

Capacity and Impact Details

The 3.37 GWh BESS can store enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day and can support peak electricity demand of cities like Indore, Chandigarh, or the entire state of Goa. The system can also power more than 12 million LED bulbs continuously for ten hours.

Strategic Location and Integration

The BESS project is strategically located at Khavda, Gujarat, to strengthen the world's largest renewable energy plant where AGEL is developing 30 GW by 2029, of which 9.9 GW is already operational.

Future Expansion Plans

AGEL plans to add over 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and scale this to 50 GWh over the next five years. This expansion supports the company's commitment to building future-ready clean energy infrastructure at global scale.

Management Commentary

Mr. Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL, stated that large-scale energy storage will play a defining role in the next phase of India's clean energy transition, emphasizing that storage infrastructure becomes critical for delivering reliable, round-the-clock clean power as renewable energy capacity scales rapidly.

Company Background

AGEL currently has an operating renewable portfolio of 19.7 GW, the largest in India, spread across 12 states. The company has set a target of achieving 50 GW by 2030 aligned to India's decarbonization goals.
