Adani Green Energy
Limited launched a cumulative 3.37 gigawatt-hour battery energy storage system
in Khavda, Gujarat, on 26 May 2026.
¨
The installation is
regarded as the world’s largest single-location battery storage deployment
outside China.
¨
It also includes an
additional 1.37 gigawatt-hour capacity commissioned in March 2026.
¨
A Battery Energy Storage
System (BESS) stores electricity in rechargeable batteries for later use.
¨
Large-scale BESS projects
use lithium-ion battery technology.
¨
Such systems also include
power conversion systems and energy management systems.
¨
BESS is used for grid
support, frequency control, and peak load management.
¨
Khavda is a major
renewable energy project located in Gujarat.
¨
The project is associated
with large-scale solar and wind energy development.
¨
The current operational
BESS capacity at Khavda is 3.37 gigawatt-hours.
¨
The project was completed
within 10 months of the start of construction.
¨
The 3.37 gigawatt-hour
system can store enough clean energy to supply electricity to around one
million homes for one day.
¨ The system can also meet the peak electricity demand of cities such as Indore and Chandigarh.
¨ It is capable of meeting the peak power demand of the entire state of Goa as well.
