AGEL’s solar portfolio demonstrated an improved capacity utilization factor (CUF) of 25.2%, a 90 basis points increase compared to the same period last year. This improvement can be attributed to consistently high project availability and enhanced solar irradiation.

Wind portfolio demonstrated an improved CUF of 40.2%, a 360 basis points increase compared to the same period last year. This improvement can be attributed to consistently high project availability and enhanced solar irradiation.

AGEL’s solar-wind hybrid portfolio recorded a CUF of 45.4%, a 880 basis points increase. This growth was supported by implementing new projects featuring technologically advanced solar modules (including bifacial modules and horizontal single-axis trackers) and wind turbines, as well as high project and grid availability and improved solar irradiation.

The sale of energy increased by 78% YoY to 11,760 MU’s in 1H backed by strong capacity addition and improved CUF across solar, wind and hybrid portfolios.

Adani Green Energy emerged as the leading utility-scale solar project developer during the first half of 2023, with the most extensive solar project portfolio as of June 2023, according to Mercom’s India Solar Market Leaderboard 1H 2023.
