Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) has commissioned a 180 MW solar power plant in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan. The plant, located at Devikot, benefits from a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI).
The 180 MW solar plant is expected to produce around 540 million units (kWh) of electricity annually, powering over 110,000 homes and helping to offset around 0.39 million tonnes of CO2 emissions.
The plant is built with next-generation bifacial solar PV modules and horizontal single-axis solar trackers to maximise generation through better module efficiency and sun tracking throughout the day.
The plant is equipped with waterless robotic module cleaning systems, enabling water conservation in the barren region of Jaisalmer. The Energy Network Operation Centre (ENOC), anchored in the secured digital cloud platform, enables real-time monitoring of AGEL’s renewable energy assets, leading to enhanced operational performance.
With the successful commissioning of this plant, AGEL’s operating solar portfolio has swelled to 6,243 MW and the total operating renewable generation capacity to 9,784 MW, the largest in India.
Adani Green Energy Ltd is India’s largest and one of the leading renewable energy companies in the world. It develops, owns, and operates utility-scale grid-connected solar, wind and hybrid renewable power plants. The company has a locked-in growth trajectory up to 21.8 GW and targets 45 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2030,
