Adani Green Energy Ltd has recently signed an agreement with Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). The deal is for the supply of 1,799 megawatts of solar power.
“With this, Adani Green now has tied up PPAs of 19.8 (gigawatt), and the balance is merchant capacity in its 20.6 GW locked-in portfolio,” shared a news portal.
“With over (200,000) acres of land already tied up in resource-rich areas of India, the portfolio is fully de-risked for execution of 45 GW capacity by 2030,” it added.
Amit Singh, CEO of Adani Green Energy, said the power purchase agreement with SECI aligned with India’s target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
“Adani Green is determined to deliver in excess of 45 GW of renewable energy, a five-fold increase from our current operating portfolio,” he said.
