Here are some details:
• Adani Green has the potential to add 7–8 gigawatts of renewable capacity annually, but is purposefully capping yearly installations at approximately 4.5–5 GW due to power evacuation issues, according to executive director Sagar Adani.
• The company prefers not to repeat past mistakes of expanding capacity without sufficient transmission infrastructure, which previously resulted in wasted generated power, Adani explained during an earnings conference call with analysts.
• Last year, the company incurred a loss of about 5 billion Indian rupees ($53.05 million) due to an inability to deliver generated power to the grid because of transmission limitations, Adani noted.
• Approximately 4.8 GW of clean energy projects are currently unable to transmit power to the grid in Rajasthan, India’s leading solar state, according to the Wind Independent Power Producers Association.
• Some clean energy projects in Rajasthan should postpone their commissioning to prevent losses, as they lack the necessary transmission infrastructure, the association mentioned at an industry event this week in New Delhi.($1 = 94.2475 Indian rupees)
