Adani Green Energy Crosses 12GW Renewable Energy Capacity with New 275MW Solar Project

Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) has taken its overall operational renewable energy generation capacity to 12,258.1 megawatts (MW) with the commissioning of a 275 MW solar power project at Khavda in Gujarat. The project is developed by Adani Green Energy Twenty Five A Ltd, a wholly-owned step-down subsidiary of AGEL, and began power generation on February 28, 2025, after receiving regulatory clearances.

AGEL, the largest renewable energy player in India, has achieved the milestone of 12,000 MW operational capacity, being the first one in the country to achieve the same. It has a portfolio of 8,347.5 MW solar, 1,651 MW wind, and 2,259.6 MW wind-solar hybrid capacity. The surge is part of AGEL's long-term ambition of achieving 50,000 MW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.

The 12,258.1 MW renewable energy run rate portfolio will be able to power over 6.2 million homes and avoid 22.64 million tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. AGEL's avoided emissions due to renewable energy projects are equal to the carbon sequestration capacity of over 1,078 million trees.

With this milestone, AGEL's renewable energy portfolio represents around 10% of India's installed utility-scale solar and wind capacity and comprises more than 13% of the country's utility-scale solar installations. This shows the significant contribution that AGEL has made to India's shift towards clean energy and towards meeting the country's renewable energy targets.

Adani Green Energy also building the largest renewable energy facility in the world at Khavda, Kutch in Gujarat. It is building a 30,000 MW facility on 538 square kilometers of wasteland which is roughly equal to the size of Mumbai or five times bigger than the city of Paris. After completion, this would be the largest power facility among all forms of energy in the world.

Up to now, AGEL has commissioned an aggregate capacity of 2,824.1 MW of renewable energy at Khavda site. The project will play a crucial role in augmenting the renewable energy infrastructure in India and realizing its clean energy targets.
