The company which now has the largest running renewable portfolio in India, Adani Green Energy announced on Thursday that its 700 MW hybrid green energy project has started operating.

According to a business release, the project is its fourth fully operational wind-solar hybrid power plant at Jaisalmer in Rajasthan.

The 700 MW plant was described as the biggest wind-solar hybrid power plant in the entire globe.

In India, AGEL now has the largest operating renewable portfolio with 8,024 MW thanks to the successful operationalization of the 700 MW project, the largest wind-solar hybrid power plant in the world.

This recently added hybrid power plant has a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with a combined operational generation capacity of 700 MW.

This brand-new hybrid power plant combines 510 MW of wind power with 600 MW of solar power. In order to generate the most electricity possible from solar energy, the most recent hybrid plant uses cutting-edge renewable technology including bifacial solar PV modules and horizontal single-axis trackers (HSAT) systems.

The co-located plant is intended to generate CUF of at least 50%, the highest CUF of any renewable energy facility in the country.

By addressing intermittent generation, the plant maximizes the potential of renewable energy and offers a more dependable way to satisfy the expanding demand for electricity.

Adani Hybrid Energy Jaisalmer Four Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of AGEL, is where the plant is located.

It has already put India’s first 390 Megawatt hybrid power plant into service in May 2022. The largest co-located hybrid power plant in the world, with a capacity of 600 MW, was commissioned in September 2022, and the third hybrid power plant, with a capacity of 450 MW, was commissioned in December 2022. These three hybrid energy generation resources are all situated in the Rajasthani city of Jaisalmer.
