Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) on Tuesday said it has expanded its total operational Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity to 3.37 GWh at Khavda, Gujarat. The company has expanded total operational BESS capacity to 3.37 GWh, including 1.37 GWh added in March 2026 at Khavda, where it is building 30 GW renewable energy park, of which 9.9 GW is already operational, the Adani Group entity said in a statement. This is the world's largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China and among the fastest executed globally, it added. AGEL's 3.37 GWh BESS can store enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day, supporting peak electricity demand of cities like Indore, Chandigarh or the entire state of Goa. It can also power more than 12 million LED bulbs continuously for ten hours. The commissioning marks a major milestone in strengthening grid reliability, peak-hour supply and enabling renewable energy to deliver dependable, round-the-clock po
Sagar Adani, Executive Director of Adani Group entity Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), on Wednesday called for building robust domestic infrastructure to ensure energy security in a bid to withstand global shocks and disruptions, especially wars and conflicts. Addressing a session at Resilient Futures Summit organised by Economist Enterprise, the industrialist advocated for energy security and noted that countries should shift their priorities from how fast they can grow to how well they can withstand disruptions. "We've all seen how conflict in one region can disrupt supply chains across continents. We've all seen how shocks in energy markets can ripple through economies overnight," he said, noting that the question for every nation is no longer just how fast can you grow, it is: How well can you withstand disruption." Highlighting that energy is the foundational element, he said water security needs energy for desalination, treatment, and distribution, while food security needs ener
Adani Green Energy Ltd plans to invest about Rs 15,000 crore to add more than 10 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of battery energy storage capacity in the current financial year, as it pivots towards delivering reliable, dispatchable clean power amid India's accelerating energy transition. The proposed addition will be over and above the roughly 3 GWh of installed storage capacity the company expects to reach shortly, following the commissioning of 1.4 GWh during FY26, it said during its earnings call. The batteries are being developed alongside renewable generation at Khavda in Gujarat, where AGEL is building what it describes as the world's largest renewable energy park. The storage systems are aimed at supplying power during peak evening demand when solar output tapers, helping smooth load profiles and enable round-the-clock renewable energy. "We are in the process of very significantly ramping up our capacity addition for batteries which we expect to commission north of 10 GWh, in this ..
Norway's USD 1.2 trillion sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest, has decided to exclude Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) from its portfolio due to concern about its alleged links to financial crime. Norges Bank, which had in May 2024 excluded Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd, on its website added AGEL to the list of companies that it has decided to exclude from its portfolio. It cited "gross corruption or other serious financial crime" as the criterion for its decision but gave no explanation. When Norges Bank first bought AGEL shares in July 2020, the share price was Rs 341. Today it is Rs 944. While AGEL did not immediately offer any comments, industry officials said a fossil fuel funded sovereign fund is trying to create a narrative against a renewable company. Norges Bank Investment Management, the entity managing the Norwegian sovereign wealth fund, had previously excluded Indian blue chip firms like Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Coal India, Bharat ...
