The BESS incorporates 1.37 GWh added in March 2026, and the project was delivered within ten months from the start of construction.
It can store sufficient clean energy to supply nearly one million homes for a full day, meeting peak electricity demands in cities such as Indore and Chandigarh or the entire state of Goa.
Additionally, the BESS can power over 12 million LED bulbs continuously for ten hours.
This development will stabilise grids with high renewable content and provide green power around the clock.
The BESS project incorporates energy management systems with lithium-ion battery technology to enhance efficiency, reliability, and grid responsiveness.
The commissioning marks a major step forward in strengthening grid reliability, increasing peak-hour supply, and enabling renewable energy to deliver dependable, large-scale power consistently.
AGEL aims to introduce more than 10GWh of battery storage capacity in FY27 and intends to expand this to 50GWh over the next five years.
AGEL executive director Sagar Adani said: “Large-scale energy storage will play a defining role in the next phase of India’s clean energy transition. As renewable energy capacity scales rapidly, storage infrastructure becomes critical for delivering reliable, round-the-clock clean power.
“With the commissioning of the 3.37GWh BESS at Khavda, AGEL is strengthening the foundation for resilient, dispatchable and flexible energy systems.
“Our investments in battery storage reflect a long-term commitment to building future-ready clean energy infrastructure at a global scale.”
Strategically located in Khavda, the project supports the world’s largest renewable energy site, where AGEL is developing 30GW by 2029, with 9.9GW already in operation.
