Adani Green becomes first Indian company to cross 15 GW renewable energy capacity

Adani Green Energy Ltd has become the only renewable energy company in India to attain 15 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity, primarily through greenfield projects.

This accomplishment marks the fastest and largest capacity addition in India to date.

In a statement on Monday, Adani Green said it has achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 15,000 megawatts (MW) of operational capacity, specifically reaching 15,539.9 MW.

Adani Green’s operational portfolio includes around 11,005.5 MW of solar, 1,977.8 MW of wind, and 2,556.6 MW of wind-solar hybrid capacity.

“Surpassing the 15,000 MW milestone is a moment of immense pride. This achievement is a testament to our team's relentless focus and dedication. It would not have been possible without the far-sighted leadership of our promoters and the unwavering support of our investors, customers, team and partners who have stood by us at every step,” said Ashish Khanna, CEO, Adani Green Energy.

“Inspired by Gautam Adani’s ambition to position Adani as the global leader in renewable energy, AGEL is committed to setting new benchmarks in innovation and operational excellence—proving that clean energy can be delivered at unprecedented scale and speed. We aim to accelerate even faster from 15,000 MW to 50,000 MW by 2030, remaining steadfast in our mission to power India and the world with sustainable energy solutions,” Khanna added.

Adani Green Energy is developing the world’s largest renewable energy plant of 30,000 MW on the barren waste land at Khavda in Kutch, Gujarat. Built across 538 square kilometres, it is five times the size of Paris and will be even visible from space. Once complete, it will be the planet’s largest power plant across all energy sources. AGEL has operationalised cumulative capacity of 5,355.9 MW renewable energy at Khavda so far. The accelerated progress at Khavda underscores AGEL’s commitment to India’s goal of 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.

Adani Green is targeting 50 GW of green energy by 2030. “Adani Green is building the world’s largest renewable energy power right here in India and visible even from space. From Khavda to the world, our target of 50GW by 2030 is a proof that scale and sustainability can coexist. In fact, when we combine our thermal, renewable and pump hydro generation capacity, we expect to have a 100 GW capacity by 2030,” Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani recently said.
