Adani Green Energy has commissioned 551MW of solar capacity in Khavda, Gujarat, supplying power to the national grid.
It achieved this milestone within 12 months of commencing work on the Khavda RE park, starting with the development of basic infrastructure, including roads and connectivity, and creating a self-sustaining social ecosystem.
Adani plans to develop 30GW of capacity at the site.
The planned capacity is expected to be operational in the next five years.
Energy from the Khavda RE park can power 16.1 million homes each year.
The region is endowed with one of the best wind and solar resources in India, which makes it ideal for giga-scale development, the developer said.
Adani added it conducted extensive studies and deployed multiple innovative solutions to accelerate the development of the plant, while supporting the development of an indigenous and sustainable supply chain.
Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani said: “Adani Green Energy is creating one of the world’s most extensive renewable energy ecosystems for solar and wind.
“Through bold and innovative projects like the Khavda RE plant, AGEL continues to set higher global benchmarks and rewrite the world’s planning and execution standards for GW-scale renewable energy projects.
“This milestone is a validation of the Adani Group’s commitment and leading role in accelerating India’s equitable clean energy transition journey towards its ambitious goals of 500GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and carbon neutrality.”
