Adani Green Expands Khavda Battery Storage to 6.63 GWh
Adani Green Energy has built more large batteries at its renewable-energy site in Khavda, Gujarat.
The batteries can store 6.63 gigawatt-hours of electricity.
The company says this could power about two million homes for one day.
The batteries save electricity when renewable power is available.
They can release that electricity later when people need it.
This can make renewable power more dependable.
The system uses lithium-ion batteries and computer systems to control charging and discharging.
Adani Green says it plans to build much more battery and pumped storage in the future.
Adani Green Energy expanded its operational battery storage capacity at Khavda, Gujarat, to 6.63 GWh from 3.55 GWh in June 2026.
The company says this represents more than half of India’s approximately 12.6 GWh of operational battery storage capacity.
The facility can store enough clean energy to power around two million homes for a day, according to AGEL.
The lithium-ion system uses energy management software and automated telemetry to manage charging, discharging and grid services.
AGEL plans to add more than 10 GWh of storage in FY 2026–27 and targets 50 GWh within five years.
