Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL),
India's largest renewable energy company, has surpassed 20 gigawatts (GW) of
operational renewable energy capacity, becoming the first renewable energy
company in India to achieve the milestone predominantly through greenfield development. The
company generates over 52 billion units of clean electricity annually. The output
represents nearly 3 per cent of India's electricity consumption, enough to
power New York City for a year, or almost entire Mumbai and New Delhi combined.
The milestone comes within a decade of
commissioning AGEL’s first renewable energy project at Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu, in
2016, making it India's largest and fastest greenfield renewable energy
capacity addition. The company added 5,051 megawatts (MW) in FY26, the highest
annual renewable capacity addition by any company outside China.
Commenting on the milestone, Mr. Sagar
Adani, Executive Director, AGEL, said: “Surpassing 20 GW demonstrates
what disciplined execution and long-term vision can achieve. Today, AGEL, along
with our efficient team and longstanding partners, delivers renewable
electricity almost equivalent to annual power requirement of Mumbai and New
Delhi combined, reinforcing the country's energy security while accelerating
its clean energy transition."
"As renewable energy assumes a
larger share of India's power mix, battery storage is becoming central to
delivering reliable, dispatchable clean power, " Mr. Adani added. AGEL
plans to add 10 GWh of battery storage in FY27 and expand its portfolio to 50
GWh over the next five years, supporting its 50 GW renewable energy target by
2030.
