AHMEDABAD: Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), the renewable energy arm of ports-to-power conglomerate, Adani Group, on Wednesday announced that it has operationalised 551 megawatt (MW) of solar power generation capacity at Khavda in Gujarat. AGEL, which has begun supplying power to the national grid from the said plant, is building the world’s largest solar park with a capacity of 30 gigawatt (GW) at Khavda.
Khavda which is situated in Kutch district here, is a promising location for wind and solar energy projects. The region witnesses 2,060 kWh/ metre-square of high solar irradiation, making it ideal for solar energy generation. It is also replete with wind resources India, with speeds of ~8 meters per second.
The planned capacity is expected to be operationalized in the next five years. When completed, the Khavda RE park will be the largest renewable energy installation in the world.
“Adani Green Energy is creating one of the world’s most extensive renewable energy ecosystems for solar and wind,” said Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group. “Through bold and innovative projects like the Khavda RE plant, AGEL continues to set higher global benchmarks and rewrite the world’s planning and execution standards for giga-scale renewable energy projects. This milestone is a validation of the Adani Group’s commitment and leading role in accelerating India’s equitable clean energy transition journey towards its ambitious goals of 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and carbon neutrality.”
The energy from the Khavda RE park can power 1.6 crore households every year.
AGEL operationalised the plant within 12 months of commencing work on the Khavda RE park, starting with the development of basic infrastructure, including roads and connectivity, and creating a self-sustaining social ecosystem.
With a locked-in capacity up to 20.8 GW, AGEL currently has an operating renewable portfolio of over 9 GW, spread across 12 states. The company recently developed the world’s largest wind-solar hybrid power cluster of 2,140 MW in Rajasthan. The company aims to attain 45 GW by 2030 aligned to India’s decarbonization goals.
