The Adani Group on Tuesday announced its entry into the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) market with a landmark 1,126 MW/3,530 MWh project slated
for completion by March 2026. Spanning over 700 BESS containers, this venture is set to become the largest single-site energy storage facility in India and one of the largest globally. With a storage capacity of 3,530 MWh, the project can extend the 1,126 MW power output for three hours. “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,” said Gautam Adani, Chairman of Adani Group. This ambitious project places Adani Group among the world’s top energy players investing in large-scale storage solutions. It marks a significant step forward in India’s clean energy transition journey, enhancing energy security and enabling the delivery of round-the-clock renewable electricity. Cutting-Edge Technology For Maximum Impact The BESS installation at Khavda, part of the world’s largest renewable energy complex, will leverage advanced lithium-ion battery systems coupled with sophisticated energy management technology. This integration ensures optimal performance, supports peak load management, and helps in energy shifting, thereby enhancing the grid stability and efficiency. The deployment will support peak load management and energy shifting, thereby playing a critical role in decarbonising the power sector. Scaling Up For A Low-Carbon Future Beyond this flagship project, the Adani Group aims to add another 15 GWh of BESS capacity by March 2027, with a long-term vision of reaching 50 GWh within the next five years. The deployment is expected to ease peak load pressures, reduce transmission congestion, and minimise solar curtailment, reinforcing the country’s efforts toward decarbonising its power sector.
