Adani Green Energy (AGEL), the renewable energy arm of Adani Group, has operationalised a 551 MW solar capacity in Khavda, Gujarat, by supplying power to the national grid.
AGEL plans to develop 30 GW of renewable energy capacity from this park, which, when completed, will be the largest renewable energy installation in the world. Energy from the Khavda RE park can power 16.1 million homes each year.
The planned capacity is expected to be commissioned in the next five years, the company said in a statement.
“Adani Green Energy is creating one of the world’s most extensive renewable energy ecosystems for solar and wind,” said Gautam Adani, chairman, Adani Group.
“Through bold and innovative projects like the Khavda RE plant, AGEL continues to set higher global benchmarks and rewrite the world’s planning and execution standards for giga-scale renewable energy projects. This milestone is a validation of the Adani Group’s commitment and leading role in accelerating India’s equitable clean energy transition journey towards its ambitious goals of 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and carbon neutrality,” he added.
The Khavda region is endowed with one of the best wind and solar resources in the country, which makes it ideal for giga-scale RE development, it added.
