Adani Green Pushes Global Electrification Agenda as Sagar Adani Calls for Faster Clean Energy Transition at London Dialogue

Sagar Adani emphasises the need to accelerate electrification paired with storage to boost energy security, affordability and sustainability. The dialogue highlighted investments in renewables, grid expansion, and storage technologies as essential to meet rising electricity demand and achieve a low‑carbon future.

Adani Green Energy Ltd. (AGEL) has called for accelerating global electrification and scaling up renewable energy integrated with storage systems, with Executive Director Sagar Adani stating that clean power backed by energy storage is essential for ensuring energy security, affordability and sustainability.

Speaking at the inaugural Adani Green Energy Dialogue during London Climate Action Week at the Science Museum in London, Sagar Adani said electrification has become one of the most effective pathways to address the world's growing energy challenges. "Energy security, affordability and sustainability are among the defining challenges of our time. Electrification is emerging as one of the most effective pathways to address all three. For countries seeking resilient growth and greater energy independence, accelerating electrification is no longer an option but an imperative," he said.

The event, organised by Adani Green Energy in partnership with the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC), brought together policymakers, investors, climate experts and business leaders to discuss the policy, investment and infrastructure needed to accelerate the global clean energy transition.

Highlighting the company's long-term strategy, Sagar Adani said renewable energy achieves its full potential only when combined with storage technologies such as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs).

He said Adani Green is advancing towards its target of developing 50 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, anchored by the world's largest renewable energy project at Khavda in Gujarat, where large-scale storage is being integrated with clean power generation.

The discussions centred on accelerating electrification and mobilising investments in renewable energy, storage solutions and modern electricity grids. Participants noted that rising electricity demand, driven by artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, digital infrastructure and data centres, will require resilient and low-carbon power systems. They stressed that long-term policy certainty, sustained investments and expansion of transmission infrastructure will be critical for meeting future energy demand.

The dialogue featured sessions chaired by Lord Adair Turner, Co-chair of the Energy Transitions Commission, and Nigel Topping, Chair of the UK Climate Change Committee. Representatives from Octopus Energy, Schneider Electric, Climate Bonds Initiative, Green Finance Institute and the Adani Group also participated. Lord Adair Turner said large-scale clean electrification remains the most important step towards building zero-emission economies, while Nigel Topping emphasised that electrifying sectors still dependent on fossil fuels would unlock greater economic and climate benefits.

The discussions come as the Adani Group continues to expand its clean energy portfolio through investments in renewable power, energy storage, transmission infrastructure, green hydrogen and digital infrastructure. The Group has committed investments exceeding US$100 billion towards energy transition-related infrastructure, one of the largest private-sector commitments globally.

Earlier this week, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani also announced plans to develop up to 10 GW of nuclear power capacity, complementing renewable energy and storage projects to strengthen India's long-term energy security.

The programme concluded with a visit to Energy Revolution: The Adani Green Energy Gallery at London's Science Museum. Supported by Adani Green Energy, the interactive gallery showcases technologies driving the global shift towards low-carbon energy and has welcomed more than one million visitors since opening in March 2024.

The event underscored the growing importance of international collaboration in accelerating climate action, promoting policy innovation and mobilising investments required for the global transition to clean energy.
