Adani Green Energy Adds 5 GW+ of Renewable Capacity in FY26, a Global High​

Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) added 5 GW+ (5,051 Megawatts) of renewable energy capacity during the financial year 2025-26, bringing its total operational portfolio to 19.3 gigawatts (GW). This marks the highest greenfield annual capacity expansion globally, excluding China.

The new capacity addition includes 3.4 GW (3,409 MW) of solar, 0.7 GW (686 MW) of wind, and 1 GW (956 MW) of wind-solar hybrid capacity. The expansion is expected to offset approximately 10 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually, with AGEL’s total operational portfolio resulting in a 36 million tonnes annual carbon offset.

The majority of the new capacity was commissioned at the world’s largest renewable energy plant under development by AGEL in Khavda, Gujarat. The project spans 538 square kilometers, an area five times the size of Paris. AGEL has now installed a cumulative capacity of 9.4 GW (9,413 MW) at the site, out of a planned 30 GW by 2029.

AGEL has also brought online an initial 1,376 megawatt hours (MWh) of battery energy storage systems (BESS) at Khavda, supporting grid stability and renewable integration. The BESS capacity was commissioned within eight months of work beginning.

“Our addition of over 5 GW of new capacity marks a watershed moment for India’s renewable energy sector,” said Mr. Sagar Adani, Executive Director, AGEL. “It strengthens our progress towards our target of 50 GW by 2030.”

The Khavda project utilizes advanced bifacial solar modules, solar trackers, and 5.2 MW wind turbines. Waterless robotic cleaning systems are deployed for module cleaning to improve operational efficiency.

AGEL was ranked first in the Global Top 100 Green Utilities list for 2025 by Energy Intelligence and retained its position as India's top sustainability performer in the power sector for the second consecutive year by NSE Sustainability Ratings and Analytics.

Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) is India’s largest renewable energy company, developing, owning, and operating utility-scale grid-connected solar, wind, hybrid, and energy storage solutions. The company is targeting 50 GW of capacity by 2030.
