Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), India’s largest renewable energy company, has successfully commissioned a 3.37 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Khavda, Gujarat. This achievement marks the world’s largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China and is among the fastest executed globally. The project, which includes a 1.37 GWh capacity commissioned in March 2026, was completed within just ten months of construction commencement, highlighting AGEL’s rapid execution capabilities.
The commissioning of this BESS is a significant milestone in enhancing grid reliability and ensuring round-the-clock power supply. AGEL plans to expand its battery storage capacity by over 10 GWh in FY27 and aims to increase this to 50 GWh over the next five years. The 3.37 GWh BESS has the capacity to power nearly one million homes for a day or more than 12 million LED bulbs for ten hours continuously, supporting peak electricity demand in major cities or even entire states like Goa.
Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL, emphasised the critical role of large-scale energy storage in India’s clean energy transition. He stated, “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.”
The BESS project integrates advanced energy management systems with lithium-ion battery technologies, optimising efficiency and grid responsiveness. Strategically located at Khavda, Gujarat, the project further strengthens the world’s largest renewable energy plant, where AGEL is developing 30 GW by 2029, with 9.9 GW already operational.
As renewable energy adoption accelerates globally, utility-scale battery storage is emerging as essential infrastructure for reliable clean energy delivery. AGEL’s BESS deployment demonstrates how renewable power can evolve from intermittent generation into dependable, dispatchable energy infrastructure at scale.
