New Delhi: Adani Green Energy has announced the world’s largest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) outside China in Gujarat, Khavda, and one of the fastest utility-scale installations globally, completed within a mere ten months of construction. This milestone involves 1.37 GWh of capacity that would be installed in March 2026, which would make AGEL’s operational BESS capacity at Khavda 3.37 GWh.
This new system is capable of accumulating clean energy to light just under a million homes for one day or over 12 million LED bulbs for 10 hours. The breakthrough is expected to greatly improve the reliability of the grid, the stability of a network of renewable power resources and will also allow for green power to be delivered around the clock.
Sagar Adani, Executive Director of AGEL, talked about how India needs storage to move towards clean energy. India is growing fast in power generation. So storage solutions are becoming very important to give energy all the time. The 3.37 GWh BESS at Khavda is a start for a stronger energy grid that can work well.
The Khavda BESS uses the energy management systems and lithium-ion tech for maximum efficiency. This will help provide energy in a reliable way. The storage solution at Khavda is a step for India’s clean energy journey. It will make sure that clean energy is always available.
Sagar Adani highlighted that storage solutions like Khavda BESS are crucial. They will help India achieve its energy goals. The growth of power in India is very fast. Storage solutions will ensure that clean energy is provided continuously. The Khavda BESS is a step, towards a clean energy future.
It was optimally placed in the heart of AGEL’s gigantic renewable energy project, under which, Adani Green Energy is planning to generate 30 GW by 2029, of which 9.9 GW is already operational. To support its vision of developing clean energy infrastructure at a future scale, AGEL is also targeting to increase its battery storage capacity by more than 10 GWh for FY27 and subsequently to 50 GWh over 5 years.
