Delhi, New: According to a study by the clean energy research and communication company Mercom Capital, Adani Green Energy is regarded as the world’s top solar developer on a major scale. According to a press release from Mercom Capital, the report’s data covers the months of July 2022 through June 2023. Developers with projects in at least two countries were taken into consideration for the ranking, which was established based on predetermined criteria.

Gautam Adani, the chairman of Adani Green Energy, expressed his happiness at the recognition and stressed the importance of coming in second place among solar PV developers globally. The report highlights projects in at least two countries and provides insight into the company’s accomplishments and position in the global renewable energy landscape.

The report from Mercom Capital attests to Adani Green Energy’s commitment to sustainable and clean energy practices. The company’s significant worldwide contributions to the solar energy industry are reflected in the ranking, which bolsters its standing as one of the top developers.

One important criterion is to include projects with recognized Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), initiatives that are currently underway, and projects based on operational capacity. A focus on projects with a capacity of one megawatt or more was indicated by Mercom Capital.

Considering operational, under-construction, and recognized (PPA-contracted) projects, TotalEnergies in France emerged as the world’s leading solar PV (Photovoltaic System) developer with a total capacity of 41.3 gigawatts.

Ahmedabad: The Adani Group is building the largest green energy park in the world, spanning an enormous 726 square kilometers, in Gujarat’s Kutch desert. Group Chairman Gautam Adani said in a post on X that the project will produce 30 gigawatts of power, enough to power over 20 million homes.

Proud to be building the largest green energy park in the world and contributing significantly to India’s significant advancements in renewable energy. Visible from space, this iconic project spans 726 square kilometers in the difficult terrain of the Kutch desert. Our goal is to produce 30 gigawatts of electricity, which would be enough to power over 20 million homes,” Gautam Adani stated in the post.

Furthermore, we are building one of the largest and most integrated solar and wind energy manufacturing ecosystems in the world, only 150 km away at our workplace in Mundra. This marks a critical turning point in India’s transition to sustainable energy and demonstrates our dedication to solar alliances and an independent India.

The project is a lasting testament to India’s ability to produce green energy and demonstrates our commitment to self-sufficient and sustainable energy in India. The post included some photos that the Group Chairman had shared, giving readers a peek of the massive project that was currently underway.

Through this project, the Adani Group hopes to increase India’s capacity for producing green energy and is in line with the promises made during the COP26 summit, particularly the bold five-part ‘Panchamrit’ pledge. By 2030, this commitment seeks to reduce emissions by one billion tons, attain 500 gigawatts of non-fossil electricity capacity, and produce half of all energy needs from renewable sources.

In order to support the international climate action goals, India also intends to step up the reduction of emissions from domestic production by up to 45% and eventually reach net-zero emissions by 2070.
