Dhaka, June 10, 2026 — 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. Many countries are now prioritizing battery storage capacity alongside large-scale renewable energy development to ensure reliable power supply.
According to AGEL, the new project will strengthen grid reliability, support peak electricity demand, and facilitate round-the-clock delivery of clean energy.
Sagar Adani, Executive Director of Adani Green Energy Limited, said battery storage infrastructure is essential for integrating growing volumes of renewable energy into the grid and delivering dependable clean power.
The company plans to expand its battery storage portfolio to 10,000 MWh by fiscal year 2027 and further increase capacity to 50,000 MWh over the next five years.
AGEL is also developing one of the world’s largest renewable energy parks at Khavda, targeting 30,000 MW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2029. Nearly 10,000 MW of generation capacity is already operational at the site.
