Adani Green expands BESS capacity to 6.63 GWh, accounts for over 50% of Indias operational capacity

The latest capacity has been commissioned at Khavda in Gujarat, where AGEL is also developing a 30 GW renewable energy plant across 538 square kilometres. The company said the 6.63 GWh BESS makes Khavda the world’s largest operational battery energy storage installation at a single location.

AGEL achieved the milestone within 14 months of commencing on-site BESS construction at Khavda, with the latest capacity addition commissioned within 10 months of the start of construction.

“Reaching 6.63 GWh of operational battery storage in just 14 months is a significant milestone for AGEL and India’s clean energy transition. At this scale, storage can make renewable power firmer, more reliable and dispatchable when the grid needs it,” Sagar Adani, Executive Director, Adani Green Energy, said.

He added that as India’s power demand grows, the company would continue to scale both battery and pumped storage solutions to support a more resilient and lower-carbon grid.

The BESS uses lithium-ion battery technology integrated with an Energy Management System and automated telemetry to manage charging and discharging, optimise performance and support grid services. According to the company, battery storage can help improve grid stability, manage peak demand, reduce renewable energy curtailment and enable clean power to be dispatched when required.

AGEL is on track to add over 10 GWh of BESS capacity in FY27 and is targeting 50 GWh over the next five years. The company is also pursuing pumped storage projects as part of its broader strategy to build firm and dispatchable renewable power capacity. (ANI)
