AGEL Launches 250 MW Wind Power at Khavda's Mega Plant

AdGreen Energy Limited (AGEL) has successfully operationalized its first 250 MW wind capacity at the Khavda Renewable Energy Plant, the world's largest renewable energy project, situated in Gujarat. This milestone brings the total operational capacity at the site to 2,250 MW, further solidifying AGEL's leadership in India's renewable energy sector with a total operational portfolio of 11,184 MW across the country.

Wind energy is integral to India's energy mix, complementing solar power generation and ensuring a consistent supply of renewable energy. The Khavda plant benefits from optimal wind resources, with average speeds of around 8 meters per second, making it a prime location for wind generation.

The facility boasts advanced 5.2 MW wind turbine generators (WTGs) manufactured using German technology, enabling efficient land use and reducing the levelized cost of energy (LCOE). These WTGs, with a rotor diameter of 160 meters, are equivalent in height to the Statue of Unity.

AGEL' Spanning 538 sq km?five times the size of Paris?the Khavda plant is set to become the largest power plant globally, regardless of energy source, contributing to India?s decarbonization efforts. The project has included significant infrastructure development, such as roads, drainage systems, and residential facilities for staff, emphasizing AGEL?s commitment to community development and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives.
