Adani Green Energy reported an operational capacity expansion of 24% year-on-year, reaching 20,763 MW during the first half of FY27. Driven by these portfolio additions, total energy sales rose 32% compared to the prior year, touching 25,747 million units. During the six-month span, the clean power producer commissioned 4,083 MW of greenfield assets, with 621 MW added in the second quarter alone.
The enterprise also scaled its grid storage footprint significantly during the September quarter by commissioning 3,081 MWh of battery energy storage system capacity located at Khavda. Following this deployment, the producer's cumulative installed battery storage reached 6,632 MWh at the conclusion of the first half of the fiscal year.
Across operational generation assets, performance varied by technology type during the period. The solar portfolio logged a capacity utilisation factor of 22.9% alongside plant availability of 99.3%. The wind segment recorded a capacity utilisation factor of 42.9% with availability at 94.6%, while hybrid installations delivered a 45.2% utilisation factor and 98.8% availability.
Management stated that the operating asset base of 20,763 MW supplied electricity to more than 4.4 million households and avoided 17.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions over the first half. These operating metrics reflect the wider expansion of the utility's renewable energy fleet throughout the evaluated six-month timeframe.
The company also cited multiple sustainability benchmarks and industry honours received during the period. It retained the top global position in FTSE Russell's Alternative Electricity Subsector for the second consecutive year, secured the utility sector top ranking from NSE Sustainability Ratings and Analytics, and was ranked first in power generation by CRISIL for the fifth straight year. It also obtained a CareEdge-ESG 1+ score of 87.3, alongside industry awards in New York and at IESW 2026.
