Adani Green Energy Commissions World’s Largest Single-Location 3.37 GWh BESS Project At Khavda

Adani Green Energy Limited has successfully commissioned a cumulative 3.37 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Khavda in Gujarat, marking a major milestone for India’s renewable energy sector. The project is now recognized as the world’s largest single-location battery storage installation outside China. It is also considered one of the fastest utility-scale battery storage deployments globally, with construction completed within just ten months.

The newly operational capacity includes an earlier 1.37 GWh battery storage system that was commissioned in March 2026. The storage facility is part of the company’s massive renewable energy project at Khavda, where over 538 square kilometers of barren land is being transformed into what is expected to become the world’s largest renewable energy plant. The company plans to develop 30 GW of renewable energy capacity at the site by 2029, while around 9.9 GW has already become operational.

The large-scale battery storage system is expected to play a crucial role in stabilizing renewable power supply in India. Since renewable energy sources such as solar and wind depend heavily on weather and seasonal conditions, battery storage systems help store excess energy during periods of high generation and supply it back to the grid during peak demand hours. The Khavda project uses advanced energy management systems along with lithium-ion battery technology to improve grid reliability and ensure round-the-clock clean power supply.

According to the company, the 3.37 GWh storage system has the capacity to supply electricity to nearly one million homes for an entire day. The stored energy can also meet the peak electricity demand of cities such as Chandigarh and Indore or support the complete power needs of the state of Goa. Additionally, the battery system can power more than 12 million LED bulbs continuously for ten hours.

Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL, stated that large-scale battery storage infrastructure will be critical for building a flexible and resilient clean energy network as India accelerates its transition toward renewable power. The company has also announced ambitious future expansion plans, targeting over 10 GWh of additional battery storage capacity in FY2027 and aiming to scale up to 50 GWh over the next five years.
