In another boost to renewable energy (RE) in the country, Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), India’s largest and one of the world’s leading RE companies, has commissioned a 180 MW solar power plant at Devikot in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan.
The 180 MW solar plant will produce approximately 540 million electricity units annually,
powering over 1.1 lakh homes and reducing around 0.39 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.
The plant has a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).
Next-generation technology has been deployed to maximise generation and tracking of the sun throughout the day. The plant is equipped with waterless robotic module cleaning systems, enabling water
conservation in the barren region of Jaisalmer.
Solar portfolio
With the successful commissioning of this plant, AGEL’s operational solar portfolio has
increased to 6,243 MW, and the total operational renewable generation capacity to 9,784 MW,
the largest in India.
AGEL continues to play a pivotal role in India’s renewable energy, contributing to the nation’s
goal of achieving energy security and enabling India’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
AGEL develops, owns, and operates utility scale grid-connected solar, wind and hybrid renewable power plants. With a locked-in growth trajectory up to 21.8 Gigawatt (GW), AGEL currently has an operating
renewable portfolio close to 9.8 GW, the largest in India, spread across 12 states.
AGEL is credited with developing several landmark renewable energy power plants, the latest being the
world’s largest wind-solar hybrid power cluster of 2,140 Megawatt (MW) in Jaisalmer.
The company has set a target of achieving 45 GW by 2030 aligned to India’s decarbonization goals.
