India’s Largest Clean Energy Farm: The Khavda Renewable Energy Park Booms, Generating 1GW in 12 Months

The Khavda Renewable Energy Park in India has rapidly emerged as one of the world’s largest clean energy farms, generating 1,000 MW of electricity in just 12 months since construction began. Located in a remote region of western India, the park is being developed by Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) with an estimated capacity of over 30,000 MW.

The solar farm in the state of Gujarat is part of India’s efforts to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels for electricity production and achieve its goal of generating 40% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The project is expected to create 15,200 jobs and cover a land area of 538 square kilometers, five times larger than Paris.

The energy park benefits from strong solar radiation and abundant wind resources, making it an ideal location for renewable energy generation. AGEL is using advanced technology, including double-sided solar cell modules and a horizontal single-axis tracking system, to optimize energy production. The park also features Adani’s Energy Network Control Center (ENOC) platform, which integrates AI and machine learning for real-time monitoring and plant control.

In addition to providing clean electricity to millions of households, the Khavda project aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 58 million tons and contribute to global greenhouse gas reduction efforts. AGEL is piloting advanced technologies at the site, such as underground rock columns to strengthen soil and specialized anti-corrosion materials for equipment.

Overall, the Khavda Renewable Energy Park represents India’s commitment to sustainable energy production and addressing climate change through innovative and efficient technologies.
