Adani Green to commission 14 GWh battery storage at Khavda by fiscal year-end to cut clean energy wastage

Khavda, Gujarat: Adani Green Energy (AGEL) plans to commission a 14 gigawatt-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) at Khavda, Gujarat, by end of this fiscal year, seeking to reduce wastage of clean energy in a country that's still in the process of building the necessary storage infra.

The country's largest renewable energy company has already commissioned a cumulative 3.37 GWh BESS at the site, and plans to scale this up to 50 GWh over the next five years. The site is also home to 30 GW of renewable energy capacity.

"This is the world's largest at Khavda where we will have 30GW of renewable energy at a single location and 14 GWh of battery storage," said Rajat Seksaria, CEO, Battery Energy Storage and Green Hydrogen, Adani Group. The project gains urgency as India wasted 300 GWh of clean power in the first quarter of 2026 due to lack of storage infrastructure.
