Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL), India’s largest renewable energy company, on Friday surpassed a record 12,000 megawatts (MW) operational portfolio with the commissioning of an additional 275 MW solar capacity at the world’s largest renewable energy plant at Khavda in Gujarat.
AGEL is the first renewable energy company in India to reach this landmark. The 12,258.1 MW portfolio consists of 8,347.5 MW solar, 1,651 MW wind and 2,259.6 MW wind-solar hybrid capacity, according to an AGEL statement.
“The milestone underscores AGEL’s commitment to deliver 50,000 MW of clean, affordable and reliable power by 2030.

The emissions avoided are equivalent to carbon sequestrated by 1,078 million trees,” the company said.
