Adani Green Commissions World's Largest Single-Location 3.37 GWh Battery Storage
Adani Green Energy Limited has commissioned a 3.37 GWh Battery Energy Storage System at Khavda, Gujarat — the world's largest single-location deployment of its kind outside China. The project was completed within ten months of construction commencement.
Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL; BSE: 541450; NSE: ADANIGREEN), India's largest renewable energy company, announced on May 26, 2026 the commissioning of a cumulative 3.37 GWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at its Khavda renewable energy park in Gujarat. The BESS installation is the world's largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China, and among the fastest utility-scale deployments globally, completed within ten months of construction commencement. The total BESS at Khavda includes 1.37 GWh added in March 2026 and the remaining capacity commissioned in the current announcement.
The Khavda BESS significantly enhances the reliability and despatchability of AGEL's renewable generation, enabling storage of solar energy for supply during peak demand or grid-stabilisation periods. AGEL has set ambitious storage targets, aiming to add over 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and 50 GWh over the next five years. The scale of the Khavda deployment demonstrates India's growing capability to execute world-class utility-scale energy storage projects, positioning the country as a serious participant in global energy transition infrastructure.
Battery energy storage systems are a cornerstone technology for the energy transition, enabling higher shares of variable renewable energy on electricity grids. AGEL's 3.37 GWh Khavda BESS directly addresses intermittency — one of the key challenges to scaling solar power — and strengthens grid reliability, which has direct social benefits through more consistent clean power access. The project also accelerates India's progress toward its 500 GW non-fossil energy target and supports the decarbonisation of the broader power sector. For ESG investors, this represents a landmark infrastructure milestone at the intersection of clean energy and responsible capital deployment.
Key figure — 3.37 GWh
