Ahmedabad, July 1: Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has proudly announced that it has exceeded 20 gigawatts (GW) of operational renewable energy capacity, marking a significant achievement as the first renewable energy firm in India to reach this landmark primarily through greenfield projects.
The company produces over 52 billion units of clean energy each year, which accounts for nearly 3 percent of the total electricity consumption in India, as stated in their announcement.
“Achieving over 20 GW showcases the results of disciplined execution and a long-term vision. Today, AGEL, supported by our dedicated team and long-term partners, provides renewable energy nearly equivalent to the combined annual power needs of Mumbai and New Delhi, thereby enhancing the nation’s energy security and expediting its transition to clean energy,” remarked Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL.
This milestone follows Sagar Adani's speech at the inaugural Adani Green Energy Dialogue, which took place during London Climate Action Week at The Science Museum last month.
During the event, he emphasized the necessity of accelerating electrification through renewable energy coupled with large-scale storage solutions to bolster energy security, enhance affordability, and ensure reliable, continuous clean power supply.
This achievement comes just a decade after AGEL launched its first renewable energy project in Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu, in 2016, establishing itself as the largest and fastest-growing greenfield renewable energy capacity provider in India.
In FY26, the company added 5,051 megawatts (MW), marking the highest annual renewable capacity increase by any firm outside of China.
AGEL's operational assets include approximately 14.2 GW of solar energy, 2.7 GW of wind energy, and 3.3 GW of wind-solar hybrid capacity.
Moreover, AGEL has successfully commissioned 3.55 GWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), recognized as the largest deployment globally outside of China and one of the fastest implementations worldwide.
"As renewable energy becomes a more significant part of India's energy mix, battery storage is crucial for providing dependable, dispatchable clean power,” stated Sagar Adani.
AGEL aims to incorporate 10 GWh of battery storage in FY27 and plans to expand its total capacity to 50 GWh over the next five years, aligning with its goal of achieving 50 GW of renewable energy by 2030.
Khavda in Kutch, Gujarat, will be the focal point of AGEL's next growth phase and is set to host the world's largest renewable energy facility.
