Adani Green
Energy Ltd (AGEL), India’s largest renewable energy company, has commissioned a
cumulative 3.37 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), the
world’s largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China and
among the fastest executed globally. The deployment includes the 1.37
GWh** capacity commissioned in March 2026, taking AGEL’s total operational
BESS capacity at Khavda, Gujarat to 3.37 GWh. The project was delivered within
just 10 months of commencement of on-site construction, marking one of the
fastest utility-scale battery storage deployments globally.
The commissioning marks a major milestone in
strengthening grid reliability, peak-hour supply and enabling renewable energy
to deliver dependable, round-the-clock power at scale. AGEL plans to add over
10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and scale this to 50 GWh over the
next five years.
AGEL’s 3.37 GWh
BESS can store enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an
entire day, supporting peak electricity demand of cities like Indore,
Chandigarh or the entire state of Goa. It can also power more than 12 million
LED bulbs continuously for ten hours. This would be a game changer as
battery storage will help keep renewable heavy grids stable and deliver green
power round-the-clock.
Mr Sagar Adani, Executive Director, AGEL, said, “Large-scale energy storage will play a defining
role in the next phase of India’s clean energy transition. As renewable energy
capacity scales rapidly, storage infrastructure becomes critical for delivering
reliable, round-the-clock clean power. With the commissioning of the 3.37 GWh BESS
at Khavda, AGEL is strengthening the foundation for resilient, dispatchable and
flexible energy systems. Our investments in battery storage reflect a long-term
commitment to building future-ready clean energy infrastructure at global
scale.”
