Adani Green’s Latest Solar Project to Generate 540M Units of Electricity

On Wednesday, Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) announced the commissioning of a 180 MW solar power plant at Devikot in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. The plant has secured a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).

According to the company, the newly commissioned solar plant is expected to generate approximately 540 million units of electricity annually, which is sufficient to power over 1.1 lakh homes. Additionally, it is estimated to reduce around 0.39 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.

To maximize generation efficiency, the plant utilizes next-generation bifacial solar PV modules and horizontal single-axis solar trackers (HSAT), enabling optimal tracking of the sun throughout the day. Furthermore, the plant features waterless robotic module cleaning systems, promoting water conservation in the arid region of Jaisalmer.

AGEL has also implemented an Energy Network Operation Centre (ENOC) anchored in a secured digital cloud platform for real-time monitoring of its renewable energy assets aimed at enhancing operational performance.

With the successful commissioning of this plant, AGEL's operational solar portfolio has expanded to 6,243 MW, making it the largest operational renewable generation capacity in India, totaling 9,784 MW, as stated in the company release.
