According to the Adani group, this accomplishment marks the fastest and largest capacity addition in India to date. The operational portfolio includes ~11,005.5 MW of solar, ~1,977.8 MW of wind, and ~2,556.6 MW of wind-solar hybrid capacity.

AGEL is the first and only renewable energy company in India to attain this landmark achievement, primarily through greenfield projects.

Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group, posted on X, "Delighted to share that Adani Green has surpassed 15,000 MW of renewable energy capacity, marking the largest and fastest green energy build-out in India's history. From the desert landscapes of Khavda to a proud place among the world's Top 10 Green Power Producers, this milestone is more than a number.

Ashish Khanna, CEO, AGEL, said, "Inspired by Mr Gautam Adani's ambition to position Adani as the global leader in renewable energy, AGEL is committed to setting new benchmarks in innovation and operational excellence--proving that clean energy can be delivered at unprecedented scale and speed. We aim to accelerate even faster from 15,000 MW to 50,000 MW by 2030, remaining steadfast in our mission to power India and the world with sustainable energy solutions."

AGEL's 15,539.9 MW operational portfolio can power approximately 7.9 million households. The clean energy produced can light up thirteen individual Indian states. AGEL's operational portfolio can power the entire northeast region with renewable energy.

The milestone coincides with AGEL completing 10 years of powering India with clean and affordable energy at unmatched speed and scale.

Adani Green Energy is developing the world's largest renewable energy plant of 30,000 MW on the barren wasteland at Khavda in Kutch, Gujarat. Built across 538 sq km, it is five times the size of Paris and will be even visible from space.

Once complete, it will be the planet's largest power plant across all energy sources. AGEL has operationalised a cumulative capacity of 5,355.9 MW of renewable energy at Khavda so far. The accelerated progress at Khavda underscores AGEL's commitment to India's goal of 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.

AGEL's entire operational portfolio is certified as water positive. AGEL has been ranked 1st in the National Stock Exchange's (NSE) Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings for the power sector and in the FTSE Russell ESG score in the Alternative Electricity Subsector globally.

While this achievement is impressive, I hope they maintain fair pricing for consumers. Renewable energy should benefit common people too, not just corporate balance sheets. The 50,000 MW target by 2030 seems ambitious - hope they can deliver!

As an environmental researcher, I'm impressed by the water positive certification. Most renewable projects consume massive amounts of water - this sets a great precedent for sustainable development in arid regions.

Hope they're creating enough local employment opportunities too. Big projects like this should benefit the surrounding communities with jobs and infrastructure development, not just corporate profits.

Amazing progress! 🌞 My electricity bill has reduced by 30% since our housing society switched to renewable sources. More companies should follow Adani's lead. Clean energy is the future!
