Adani Green Energy surpasses 20 GW operational capacity, equals ~14% of India’s utility-scale solar and ~12% of utility solar-wind capacity

Adani Green Energy Limited crosses 20 GW of operational renewable capacity, marking a major milestone in India’s clean energy push. The achievement highlights AGEL's extensive solar and wind portfolio, sizable storage initiatives, and plans to reach 50 GW by 2030, reinforcing energy security and decarbonisation goals.

Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has crossed 20 gigawatts (GW) of operational renewable energy capacity, becoming the first renewable energy company in India to achieve the milestone primarily through greenfield project development, the company announced on Tuesday.

With the achievement, AGEL's operational portfolio now accounts for nearly 14% of India's utility-scale solar installations and around 12% of the country's combined utility-scale solar and wind capacity, according to the company.

The company said it currently generates more than 52 billion units of clean electricity annually, representing nearly 3% of India's total electricity consumption. According to AGEL, this output is sufficient to power New York City for a year or almost the combined annual electricity demand of Mumbai and New Delhi.

The milestone comes a decade after AGEL commissioned its first renewable energy project at Kamuthi in Tamil Nadu in 2016. During FY26, the company added 5,051 MW of renewable energy capacity, which it said is the highest annual renewable capacity addition by any company outside China.

Commenting on the achievement, Sagar Adani, Executive Director of Adani Green Energy, said the milestone reflects the company's long-term strategy and execution capabilities.

"Surpassing 20 GW demonstrates what disciplined execution and long-term vision can achieve. Today, AGEL, along with our efficient team and longstanding partners, delivers renewable electricity almost equivalent to the annual power requirement of Mumbai and New Delhi combined, reinforcing the country's energy security while accelerating its clean energy transition," he said.

The company's operational renewable portfolio currently includes approximately 14.2 GW of solar power, 2.7 GW of wind energy and 3.3 GW of wind-solar hybrid projects. AGEL has also commissioned 3.55 GWh of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), which it described as the world's largest deployment outside China.

The company plans to add another 10 GWh of battery storage during FY27 and expand its storage portfolio to 50 GWh over the next five years as part of its target to achieve 50 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.

AGEL's flagship Khavda Renewable Energy Park in Gujarat remains central to its expansion plans. Spread across 538 square kilometres in Kutch district, the project is expected to become the world's largest renewable energy plant with a planned capacity of 30 GW. The company said it has already commissioned 9.5 GW of solar capacity at the site, accounting for more than 30% of the project's planned capacity.

According to AGEL, its 20 GW renewable energy portfolio is capable of powering over 9 million households annually while offsetting more than 37 million tonnes of carbon emissions each year, equivalent to removing approximately 8.1 million cars from the roads.

Adani Green Energy currently operates renewable energy projects across 12 Indian states and has set a target of achieving 50 GW of operational renewable energy capacity by 2030 in line with India's clean energy and decarbonisation goals.
