Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has accomplished another milestone in the world of renewable energy generation. The firm has crossed the 20 GW capacity mark of operational renewable energy capacity. It is the first renewable energy company from India to achieve this through greenfield expansion. The company made this announcement on Wednesday.
The Adani Group subsidiary produces more than 52 billion units of clean power annually. That accounts for about three percent of India’s total electricity consumption. According to Sagar Adani, the executive director of the company, it is an accomplishment that is made due to strategic planning and planning for the future.
It is also worth noting that the firm supplies the equivalent of annual electricity requirements of Mumbai and New Delhi cities put together. This supports energy security of India and fast tracks the transition to green energy sources. The milestone was achieved shortly after Sagar Adani addressed the Adani Green Energy Dialogue in London.
He emphasized the need to accelerate electrification through renewable energy to enhance energy security, improve transmission, and provide reliable, round-the-clock clean power. This achievement comes within a decade of the commissioning of AGEL's first renewable energy project in Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu, in 2016. This is the largest and fastest greenfield renewable energy capacity addition in India.
AGEL added 5,051 megawatts (MW) of capacity in FY2026, the highest annual renewable capacity addition by any company outside China. The company's operating portfolio includes approximately 14.2 GW of solar power. It also has 2.7 GW of wind power and 3.3 GW of wind-solar hybrid capacity. This diversification reflects the company's strong position.
AGEL has created a battery storage system with a capacity of 3.55 GWh of batteries. This is the biggest project of this kind in the world excluding China, and also the fastest project. Sagar Adani explained that battery storage will become increasingly important for providing clean and reliable energy due to the development of renewables in the Indian energy sector.
The plan of AGEL is to install 10 GWh of battery storage during the fiscal year 2027. During five years, the company is planning to accumulate 50 GWh, which will allow it to reach its objective of 50 GW of renewables by 2030. The next stage of growth for AGEL is the region of Khavda in Kutch, Gujarat, where the largest renewable energy plant will be installed.
