Adani Green Energy Sets New Renewable Energy Record
Adani Green Energy Ltd. (AGEL), the renewable energy arm of the Adani Group, has reached a historic milestone, surpassing 12,000 megawatts (MW) of operational renewable energy capacity. This achievement cements AGEL’s position as India’s largest clean energy producer and aligns with the nation’s broader climate ambitions to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
With a total operational capacity of 12,258.1 MW, AGEL becomes India’s first and only renewable energy company to reach this scale, significantly contributing to the country’s transition towards clean, affordable, and reliable power.
India’s Clean Energy Future Gets a Major Boost
AGEL’s current renewable energy portfolio includes:
- 8,347.5 MW of solar power
- 1,651 MW of wind power
- 2,259.6 MW of wind-solar hybrid capacity
This extensive clean energy infrastructure is now powering over 6.2 million homes while preventing nearly 22.64 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually—a crucial step toward India’s decarbonization goals.
Khavda: The World’s Largest Renewable Energy Plant
AGEL is spearheading a groundbreaking renewable energy project at Khavda, Gujarat. This plant will be the world’s largest, with a 30,000 MW capacity. This massive project spans 538 square kilometres of barren land in Kutch and will set a new benchmark for global clean energy projects.
So far, AGEL has operationalized 2,824.1 MW at Khavda, with rapid progress being made through its partnerships with:
- Adani Infra – project execution
- Adani New Industries Limited – manufacturing expertise
- Adani Infrastructure Management Services Ltd. – operational excellence
- Strategic partners – robust supply chain management
This accelerated development reinforces AGEL’s commitment to helping India achieve its 500 GW non-fossil fuel target by 2030.
India’s Renewable Energy Commitments & Global Impact
At COP26 in 2021, India pledged an ambitious “Panchamrit” strategy, which includes:
- 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030
- 50% of total energy from renewables
- 1 billion tonnes CO₂ reduction
- 45% reduction in emissions intensity of GDP
- Net-zero emissions by 2070
AGEL’s continued expansion is crucial in helping India meet these climate targets while positioning itself as a global leader in renewable energy development.
A Vision for 50,000 MW by 2030
Adani Green Energy has set a long-term vision of reaching 50,000 MW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, underscoring its commitment to a sustainable and carbon-neutral future. As climate change concerns intensify globally, AGEL’s leadership in green energy innovation, large-scale project execution, and clean power generation places India at the forefront of the global energy transition.
With rapid advancements in solar, wind, and hybrid energy solutions, AGEL continues redefining what’s possible in sustainable power generation—one milestone at a time.
