- 3.37 GWh system can store enough clean energy to power 1 million homes/day
- AGEL targets 50 GWh storage capacity over next 5 years, 10 GWh in FY’27
Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) has commissioned a cumulative 3.37 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) battery energy storage system (BESS) at Khavda, Gujarat, making it the world’s largest single-location battery storage deployment outside China. The commissioning strengthens round-the-clock renewable power availability and highlights the growing role of storage infrastructure in stabilising renewable-heavy power grids.
Fast-tracked execution strengthens grid reliability
The project, completed within 10 months of on-site construction commencement, includes the addition of 1.37 GWh commissioned in March 2026, taking AGEL’s total operational battery storage capacity at Khavda to 3.37 GWh. The deployment is expected to improve grid reliability, support peak-hour electricity demand, and address intermittency challenges associated with solar and wind generation.
According to AGEL, the battery system can store enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for a day or support electricity demand equivalent to cities such as Indore or Chandigarh. The company said the project integrates lithium-ion battery technology and advanced energy management systems to improve operational flexibility and grid responsiveness.
Storage expansion aligns with clean energy ambitions
AGEL plans to add more than 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY’27 and scale up to 50 GWh over the next five years, reflecting a broader shift toward dispatchable renewable energy systems. The Khavda site remains central to this strategy, where AGEL is developing a 30 GW renewable energy park by 2029, with 9.9 GW already operational.
Industry participants note that utility-scale BESS deployments are becoming increasingly critical as renewable penetration rises, particularly to support grid balancing and energy security.
