Adani Green operationalises first 551 MW solar capacity at Gujarat renewable energy park

Adani Green on Wednesday, February 14, said it has operationalised the first 551 MW solar capacity in Khavda, Gujarat, by supplying power to the national grid.

In a stock exchange filing, the company said it achieved this milestone within a year of commencing work on the Khavda renewable energy part, starting with the development of basic infrastructure, including roads and connectivity and creating a self-substaining local ecosytem. "Adani Green also transformed the challenging and barren terrain of the Rann of Kutch into a habitable environment for its 8,000 strong workforce," it said.

The company said it is planning to develop 30 GW renewable energy capacity at the park and the same is expected to be in operation in the next five years. "When completed, the Khavda renewable energy plant will be the largest renewable energy installation in the world," it said.
