Adani Green Energy Limited announced the addition of over 5 GW of renewable energy capacity in the financial year 2025-26, expanding its total operational portfolio to 19.3 GW. This achievement marks the highest greenfield annual capacity growth globally, excluding China. The new capacity includes 3.4 GW of solar, 0.7 GW of wind, and 1 GW of wind-solar hybrid capacity.
The company estimates that this expansion will help offset approximately 10 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually. With a total operational portfolio of 19.3 GW, Adani Green Energy is set to achieve a substantial annual carbon offset of 36 million tonnes. Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL, emphasized the significance of this milestone for India’s renewable energy sector, positioning the country as a leader in the global clean energy transition.
Adani Green Energy’s progress towards its 2030 target of 50 GW is reinforced by this milestone. The company aims to drive sustainable and inclusive growth through renewable energy and energy storage solutions. Most of the new capacity was added at the world’s largest renewable energy plant in Khavda, Gujarat, covering an expansive area of 538 sq kms, equivalent to five times the size of Paris.
AGEL has already installed 9.4 GW of cumulative capacity out of the planned 30 GW by 2029 at the Khavda site. Additionally, the company has introduced 1,376 MWh of battery energy storage systems at Khavda, one of the largest single-location deployments globally, within just eight months. These systems support grid stability and renewable energy integration.
The Khavda project utilizes advanced bifacial solar modules and solar trackers to maximize electricity generation. AGEL also employs 5.2 MW wind turbines, known for their high power output globally. The company’s use of waterless robotic cleaning systems minimizes water consumption for module cleaning, enhancing operational efficiency.
