Adani Green Energy Aims to Set up 45 GW of Renewable Energy Capacity by 2030

Billionaire Gautam Adani's renewable energy company is targeting to set up 45 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity by 2030, as it looks to cut emissions and help India meet its carbon neutrality target. Adani Green Energy Ltd has 8,316 megawatts (8.3 GW) of operational renewable energy capacity and another 12,118 MW either nearing construction or under execution, sources close to the company said.

The target is to take this 20,434 MW (operational plus under execution projects) to 45,000 MW or 45 GW by 2030, they said, adding AGEL is looking to build roughly 3 GW of capacity to generate electricity from solar and wind energy every year.

French energy giant TotalEnergies holds a 19.7 per cent stake in AGEL. Recently US investment firm GQG Partners picked a 6.8 per cent stake in the company and Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) another 2.8 per cent.
