Adani Green Energy Expands Khavda Battery Storage Capacity
Adani Green Energy has added more batteries at its renewable energy site in Khavda, Gujarat.
The batteries can store 6.63 gigawatt-hours of electricity.
That is enough energy to power about two million homes for one day, according to the company.
The batteries can save electricity when it is available and release it when people need it.
This helps renewable energy become more reliable.
The Khavda system is described as the world’s largest operational battery storage installation at one location.
It is connected to a large renewable energy project being developed by the company.
Adani Green Energy says it plans to build even more storage in the coming years.
Adani Green Energy says its operational BESS capacity at Khavda, Gujarat, has risen to 6.63 GWh from 3.55 GWh in June 2026.
The company accounts for more than half of India’s approximately 12.6 GWh of operational battery storage capacity.
The installation can store enough clean energy to power around two million homes for a day, according to the company.
Khavda’s battery system uses lithium-ion technology, energy management systems and automated telemetry to manage charging and discharging.
Adani Green Energy plans to add more than 10 GWh of BESS capacity in FY 2026–27 and targets 50 GWh within five years.
