Adani Green Energy said its revenue from power supply rose 33% YoY to INR1,107 crore due to greenfield commissioning of 1,315MW and integrations of SB Energy’s operation portfolio of 1,700MW.

The company also noted that it maximised plant availability with the analytics-driven operations and maintenance (O&M) approach which enabled higher electricity generation and higher revenues. This also helped reduce O&M costs and enabled high earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation margins.

Adani Green Energy Managing Director and CEO Vneet Jaain also cited the company’s development of India’s first and the world’s largest solar-wind hybrid capacity with a capacity of 990MW, and Madya Pradesh’s largest wind plant of 325MW whilst maintaining cost-effectiveness.
