Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) has completed a 3.37 gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Khavda, Gujarat. This deployment is the largest single-location battery storage project outside China and one of the fastest globally. AGEL’s total operational BESS capacity now stands at 3.37 GWh, with 1.37 GWh commissioned in March 2026.
Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL, emphasized the significance of large-scale energy storage in India’s clean energy transition. The BESS at Khavda enhances the foundation for reliable, flexible, and dispatchable energy systems. AGEL’s investment in battery storage demonstrates a commitment to developing future-ready clean energy infrastructure on a global scale.
The 3.37 GWh BESS has the capacity to power nearly one million homes for a day or sustain peak electricity demand for cities like Indore, Chandigarh, or Goa. Additionally, it can continuously power over 12 million LED bulbs for 10 hours, contributing to grid stability and continuous green power delivery.
This rapid project completion within 10 months of on-site construction initiation sets a benchmark for utility-scale battery storage deployments globally. AGEL’s focus on battery storage aims to enhance grid reliability, peak-hour supply, and facilitate round-the-clock renewable energy delivery at scale.
AGEL’s future plans include adding more than 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27, with a goal to reach 50 GWh over the next five years. The BESS project integrates advanced energy management systems with lithium-ion battery technologies to optimize efficiency, reliability, and grid responsiveness. The strategic location of the BESS project in Khavda, Gujarat, complements AGEL’s larger renewable energy plant development, targeting 30 GW by 2029, with 9.9 GW already operational.
