Adani Green to invest ₹15,000 cr to add 10 GWh battery storage in FY27

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 ..

ACME Solar secures 220 MW solar project with battery storage in MP

ACME Solar Holdings on Tuesday said it has secured a 220 MW solar project with Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) from Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Ltd (RUMSL). The project is part of a 440 MW tender floated by RUMSL for the Morena Solar Park in Madhya Pradesh, a company statement said. The tender was floated under tariff-based competitive guidelines (TBCB) for which an e-reverse auction was conducted in September 2025. The project requires supplying power with a maximum annual CUF (capacity utilisation factor) of 35 per cent, along with 4 hours of peak supply (2 hours each in the morning and evening) at 95 per cent annual availability. Charging energy for the evening peak will be sourced from the solar plant, while energy for the morning peak will be supplied free of cost by the procurer during night hours. RUMSL would provide the land and evacuation infrastructure above the 33 kV level as part of the facilities offered by the solar park developer. The project would combine Solar and
