Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL).
Project Description
AGEL aims to develop 30 000 MW of solar energy on 538 km2 of barren land, five times the size of Paris. Once complete, it will be the world’s biggest power plant regardless of the energy source.
The solar operation will be entirely equipped with waterless robotic module cleaning systems to address dust accumulation on panels to increase the energy output, and help conserve water in the arid Kutch region.
The project will avoid the emission of about 58-million tons of carbon dioxide.
Potential Job Creation
The project will create more than 15 200 green energy jobs.
Capital Expenditure
