Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) has commissioned a cumulative 3.37 Gigawatt-hour (GWh) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Khavda, Gujarat, according to a company statement. The deployment includes 1.37 GWh capacity commissioned in March 2026, taking AGEL’s total operational BESS capacity at the site to 3.37 GWh.
The project was delivered within 10 months of commencement of on-site construction. AGEL plans to add over 10 GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and scale this to 50 GWh over the next five years.
The 3.37 GWh BESS can store enough clean energy to power nearly one million homes for an entire day. It can also power more than 12 million LED bulbs continuously for ten hours.
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.”
The BESS project integrates advanced energy management systems with lithium-ion battery technologies. The project has been located at Khavda to further strengthen the renewable energy plant where AGEL is developing 30 GW by 2029, of which 9.9 GW is already operational.
Utility-scale battery storage helps address variability in renewable energy output by storing extra energy and supplying it during peak demand. AGEL’s BESS deployment demonstrates how renewable power can evolve from intermittent generation into dispatchable energy infrastructure at scale.
