Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), in a statement, said that it has surpassed 10,000 mw (or 10 GW) of operational renewable energy capacity.
The company’s operational portfolio includes 7,393 mw of solar, 1,401 mw of wind and 2,140 mw of wind-solar hybrid capacity.
“The milestone is a testament to AGEL and its development partners firmly moving towards the goal of 45 GW renewable energy by 2030,” the statement said, adding that AGEL’s 10,934 mw operational portfolio will power more than 5.8 million homes and avoid about 21 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
During FY24, Adani Green Energy commissioned 2,848 mw renewable energy capacity, the statement said.
Moment of pride
“We are proud to be India’s first das hazari in the renewables space,” said Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group. “In less than a decade, Adani Green Energy has not just envisioned a greener future but has actualised it, growing from a mere idea to explore clean energy to achieving a phenomenal 10,000 mw in installed capacity. This achievement is a demonstration of the rapidity and scale at which the Adani Group aims to facilitate India’s transition to clean, reliable and affordable energy. In our drive towards 45,000 mw by 2030, we are building the world’s largest renewable energy plant in Khavda — a 30,000 mw project unparalleled on the global stage. AGEL is not just setting benchmarks for the world but redefining them.”
The mega 30-GW Khavda solar project
AGEL is developing the world’s largest renewable energy project of 30,000 mw on barren land at Khavda in Kutch, Gujarat. Built across 538 sqkm, it is five times the size of Paris and almost as large as Mumbai city. AGEL has operationalized 2,000 mw cumulative solar capacity (i.e. over 6 per cent of the planned 30,000 mw) within 12 months of commencing work. Work at Khavda continues at a fast pace, with AGEL leveraging the project execution capabilities of Adani Infra, the manufacturing expertise of Adani New Industries Ltd, the operational excellence of Adani Infrastructure Management Services Ltd. and the robust supply chain of our strategic partners, the release said.
