AGEL Commissions 600 MW Capacity of World's Largest Hybrid Power Plant

• A wind-solar hybrid power plant in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, with a 600 MW of capacity has actually been commissioned by Adani Green Energy (AGEL). The hybrid power project has been developed by 2 subsidiaries, Adani Hybrid Energy Jaisalmer 2 as well as Adani Hybrid Energy Jaisalmer 3.
• With Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), Adani had actually become part of a power acquisition agreement (PPA) for 25 years at a rate of 2.69 rupees per kWh.

A wind-solar hybrid power plant in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, with a 600 MW of capacity has actually been commissioned by Adani Green Energy (AGEL). The hybrid power project has been developed by two subsidiaries, Adani Hybrid Energy Jaisalmer 2 as well as Adani Hybrid Energy Jaisalmer Three.

According to the main statement, the project would consist of 150 MW of wind power and 600 MW of solar energy. Interestingly, the initial and also previous biggest hybrid power plant in India, with a 390 MW capacity, was operationalized by AGEL in May 2022 in Jaisalmer.

To boost power manufacturing, the solar project in this hybrid established uses bifacial solar modules and also straight single-axis tracker modern technology. With Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), Adani had participated in a power purchase agreement (PPA) for 25 years at a rate of Rs. 2.69 per kWh. The rate was licensed by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission in May 2020.

In March 2019, SECI issued an ask for propositions to establish 1,200 MW of solar-wind hybrid generation plants (Tranche II) attached to the ISTS. The projects were slated to be introduced in 2021-- 2022. The tender got propositions for just 900 MW of the total capacity, which shows that it was undersubscribed. Adani Renewable Energy Park (Gujarat), which used a tariff of Rs. 2.69 per kWh for a capacity of 600 MW, was declared the winning bidder in the auction on May 27, 2019.

At the time these projects were being taken into solution, SECI had actually consented to sell the complete 600 MW to distribution licensees at the discovered rate of Rs. 2.69 per kWh with a trading margin of Rs 0.07 per kWh. 500 MW were given to Punjab State Power Corporation and also 100 MW to India Power Corporation based upon the circulation licensees' requests.

With this 600 MW project AGEL has a complete functional generation capacity of 6.7 GW, including a 1 GW operational hybrid power generation capacity.
