Adani Group has forayed the battery energy storage systems (BESS) sector with a 1,126 MW / 3,530 MWh project. The system can deliver 1,126 MW of power for about three hours, storing a total of 3,530 MWh of energy.
This project, entailing deployment of more than 700 BESS containers, will be the largest BESS installation in India and one of the world’s largest single-location BESS deployments. It is set for commissioning by March 2026.
The project is in the advance stages of deployment at Khavda, the world’s largest renewable energy plant.
“The project is being developed with cutting-edge lithium-ion battery technology and is being integrated with advanced energy management systems to ensure optimal performance and reliability,” Adani Group stated in a media release. “The deployment will support peak load management and energy shifting, thereby playing a critical role in decarbonizing the power sector. This pioneering project will serve as a cornerstone in the world’s clean energy evolution, enabling grid stability, renewable integration, and round-the-clock power availability, while positioning the Khavda renewable energy plant as the world’s largest RE and storage park.”
Gautam Adani, chairman of Adani Group, said, “Energy storage is the cornerstone of a renewable-powered future. With this historic project, we are not only setting global benchmarks but also reinforcing our commitment to India’s energy independence and sustainability. This initiative will enable us to deliver reliable, clean, and affordable energy solutions at scale.”
Building on this flagship deployment, the Adani Group has laid out an ambitious roadmap to scale its energy storage footprint. The Group plans to deploy an additional 15 GWh of BESS capacity by March 2027, with a long-term target of 50 GWh total over the next five years.
