Adani Green Energy has announced the operationalization of its 700-MW hybrid green energy project, making its total operating renewable portfolio in India the largest at 8,024 MW, reports PTI.
The project, located in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, is the company’s fourth wind-solar hybrid power plant and is the world’s largest of its kind.
The hybrid power plant consists of 600 MW solar and 510 MW wind plants and has a Power Purchase Agreement of Rs 3.24/kwh for 25 years.
The plant deploys advanced renewable technologies such as bifacial solar PV modules and horizontal single-axis trackers to maximize electricity generation from solar energy. The plant is designed to deliver a capacity utilization factor of at least 50%, which is the highest among any renewable project in India. The plant will help meet the rising power demand by harnessing the potential of renewable energy and providing a more reliable solution.
Adani Hybrid Energy Jaisalmer Four Limited, a 100% subsidiary of AGEL, operates the plant.
The company had previously commissioned India’s first hybrid power plant of 390 MW in May 2022, followed by the world’s largest co-located hybrid power plant of 600 MW in September 2022 and the third hybrid power plant of 450 MW in December 2022, all of which are located in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.
