The Adani Group has announced its entry into the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) sector with a groundbreaking 1,126 MW/3,530 MWh project, set for completion by March 2026. Involving over 700 BESS containers, it will be India’s largest and one of the world’s biggest single-location energy storage projects. The system will deliver 1,126 MW of power for three hours, strengthening grid reliability and efficiency.
Gautam Adani, Chairman of the Adani Group, stated that energy storage is vital for a renewable-powered future and emphasized the company’s commitment to sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy solutions. The project aims to enhance India’s energy security, support round-the-clock clean power, and reduce carbon emissions. Located at Khavda, the world’s largest renewable energy site, it will use advanced lithium-ion technology and intelligent energy management systems. The BESS will help manage peak loads, reduce transmission congestion, and minimize solar curtailment. Additionally, Adani plans to install another 15 GWh of storage capacity by 2027, targeting 50 GWh within five years to accelerate India’s clean energy transformation.
