The BESS project would have a power capacity of 1126 MW and energy capacity 3530 MWh.
This means that BESS would be able to store 3530 MWh of energy – extending power capacity of 1126 MW by ~3 hours).
This project, entailing deployment of more than 700 BESS containers, will be the largest BESS installation in India and one of the world’s largest single-location BESS deployments, claimed a release from the company.
The project is expected to be commissioned by March next year.
“This strategic initiative is a major step toward enhancing India’s energy security, enabling round-the-clock clean electricity and supporting the country’s transition to a low-carbon future. The BESS will play a critical role in easing peak load pressures, reducing transmission congestion and mitigating solar curtailment, thereby improving grid reliability and efficiency,” the release said.
The project is in the advance stages of deployment at Khavda, the worlds’ largest renewable energy plant.
The project is being developed with cutting-edge lithium-ion battery technology and is being integrated with advanced energy management systems to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
The deployment will support peak load management and energy shifting, thereby playing a critical role in decarbonizing the power sector.
In a statement, Gautam Adani, Chairman of Adani Group, said, “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.”
