Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), India’s largest renewable energy giant, has achieved a historic milestone by surpassing 10,000 MW in renewable energy capacity. This accomplishment reflects the Adani Group’s success and holds significance for India’s renewable energy aspirations.
AGEL’s robust renewable energy portfolio utilizes cutting-edge technology and efficient operational practices, supported by a strong supply chain network. With a current operational portfolio of 10,934 MW, AGEL’s projects have the capacity to power over 5.8 million homes and mitigate 21 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually while providing clean energy to the national grid at affordable rates.
Mr. Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, hailed this achievement as a testament to AGEL’s commitment to realizing a greener future for India. He emphasized the company’s rapid growth from conceptualization to actualization, driven by its vision for clean, reliable, and affordable energy.
One of AGEL’s hallmark projects is the development of the world’s largest renewable energy project in Khavda, Kutch, Gujarat. Spanning 538 square kilometres and boasting a capacity of 30,000 MW, this project aims to revolutionize the renewable energy landscape. Already operationalizing 2,000 MW within just 12 months, AGEL’s Khavda project demonstrates its ability to execute large-scale initiatives efficiently.
The Khavda Solar Park strategically harnesses abundant solar and wind resources, expected to generate a green footprint of 30 gigawatts of clean electricity annually. This translates to powering approximately 16.1 million households and creating over 15,200 green jobs while avoiding 58 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.
Additionally, AGEL has made significant strides in wind energy, with operational projects in Gujarat contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions. These efforts align with India’s ambitious goals of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and advancing towards carbon neutrality.
AGEL’s milestone of 10,000 MW in renewable energy capacity not only marks a significant achievement for the company but also reinforces India’s commitment to a decarbonized future. With its expansive portfolio and contribution to job creation and environmental sustainability, AGEL remains at the forefront of India’s renewable energy transition.
