Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), India’s largest renewable energy company, has commissioned a cumulative 3.37 GWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Khavda, Gujarat, establishing the world’s largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China. The achievement includes the commissioning of an additional 1.37 GWh capacity in March 2026, taking AGEL’s operational BESS capacity at the site to 3.37 GWh. Notably, the project was completed within just 10 months of on-site construction, making it one of the fastest utility-scale battery storage deployments globally.
The milestone is expected to enhance grid stability, support peak power demand, and strengthen the delivery of reliable renewable energy around the clock. Building on this progress, AGEL plans to add more than 10 GWh of battery storage capacity during FY27 and expand its storage portfolio to 50 GWh over the next five years, reinforcing its commitment to accelerating India’s clean energy transition.
AGEL’s 3.37 GWh BESS can store enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day, supporting peak electricity demand of cities like Indore, Chandigarh or the entire state of Goa. It can also power more than 12 million LED bulbs continuously for ten hours. This would be a game changer as battery storage will help keep renewable heavy grids stable and deliver green power round-the-clock.
Mr. Sagar Adani, Executive Director, AGEL, said, “Large-scale energy storage will play a defining role in the next phase of India’s clean energy transition. As renewable energy capacity scales rapidly, storage infrastructure becomes critical for delivering reliable, round-the-clock clean power. With the commissioning of the 3.37 GWh BESS at Khavda, AGEL is strengthening the foundation for resilient, dispatchable and flexible energy systems. Our investments in battery storage reflect a long-term commitment to building future-ready clean energy infrastructure at global scale.”
The BESS project integrates advanced energy management systems with lithium-ion battery technologies to optimize efficiency, reliability and grid responsiveness. AGEL’s BESS project has been strategically located at Khavda, Gujarat to further strengthen the world’s largest renewable energy plant where AGEL is developing 30 GW by 2029 of which 9.9 GW is already operational.
As renewable energy adoption accelerates globally, utility-scale battery storage is emerging as critical infrastructure for reliable clean energy delivery. Renewable energy output varies with time, climate, season or geographic location. BESS helps address this variability since it stores extra energy and supplies it during peak demand.
AGEL’s BESS deployment demonstrates how renewable power can evolve from intermittent generation into dependable, dispatchable energy infrastructure at scale.
