The new capacity addition includes 3.4 GW (3,409 MW) of solar, 0.7 GW (686 MW) of wind and 1 GW (956 MW) of wind-solar hybrid capacity. It is expected to offset around 10 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually, and AGEL's total operational portfolio of 19.3 GW will result in an annual carbon offset of 36 million tonnes, the company stated.
Most of the new capacity was commissioned at the renewable energy plant being developed by AGEL at an accelerated pace in the barren land at Khavda, Gujarat. Built across 538 sq kms, the project is spread across an area five times the size of Paris. Out of the planned 30 GW by 2029 at Khavda, AGEL has already installed a cumulative capacity of 9.4 GW (9.413 MW) at the site, the company said.
Sagar Adani, Executive Director, AGEL, said, “Our addition of over 5 GW of new capacity marks a watershed moment for India's renewable energy sector, placing the country firmly on the global map of leading the clean energy transition. It marks a significant leap in accelerating the country's shift to a low-carbon economy and strengthening energy security. This milestone strengthens our progress towards our target of 50 GW by 2030, while continuing to deliver sustainable and inclusive growth through renewables and energy storage solutions.”
Further, the company also brought online an initial 1,376 MWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) at Khavda. The capacity was commissioned within eight months of starting work at the site, supporting grid stability and renewable integration.
The Khavda project deploys advanced bifacial solar modules, which generate electricity from both sides by capturing sunlight directly and from reflections off the ground, along with solar trackers to maximise electricity generation. It also deploys 5.2 MW wind turbines, among the most powerful onshore units globally. The use of waterless robotic cleaning systems leads to near-zero usage of water for module cleaning and improves operational efficiency, AGEL stated.
AGEL develops, owns, and operates utility-scale grid-connected solar, wind, hybrid and energy storage solutions. AGEL currently has an operating renewable portfolio of over 19.3 GW, spread across 12 states. The company has set a target of achieving 50 GW by 2030, aligned to India's decarbonisation goals.
