India’s leading renewable energy company, Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), has commissioned a 3,370 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), making it the world’s second-largest battery storage network and the largest single-location battery storage project outside China.
The battery system, located at AGEL’s Khavda renewable energy park in Gujarat, will be charged using solar power and can deliver 3,370 MW of electricity for one hour, even when solar generation is unavailable.
The stored energy is sufficient to power nearly one million homes for a day or keep more than 12 million LED bulbs illuminated for 10 hours.
The project combines AGEL’s previously operational 2,000 MWh battery storage facility with a newly commissioned 1,370 MWh system, bringing the total storage capacity to 3,370 MWh.
The company completed the expansion in just 10 months, setting a new benchmark for utility-scale battery deployment.
Battery storage is increasingly becoming a critical component of renewable energy systems worldwide, enabling solar power generated during the day to be used at night and improving grid stability.
According to AGEL, the new project will strengthen grid reliability, support peak electricity demand, and facilitate round-the-clock delivery of clean energy.
