India’s Adani Group to boost energy transition with $100b investment

The company said it is already building a 30-GW renewable energy park.

Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani has announced the $100b investment the company will make to boost efforts to transition to clean energy.

This will allow the company to produce the least expensive green electron that will become the feedstock for several sectors working on their sustainability goals, he said. 

Adani said efforts are already ongoing as the company is already constructing the largest single-site renewable energy park in Khavda in the district of Kutch. 

This can generate 30 gigawatts (GW) of power, bringing the company’s renewable energy capacity to 50 GW by 2030.

Adani said that India targets to install 500GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. This goal will need annual investments of over $150b, he noted.

“The transition to green energy in India is expected to generate millions of new jobs in sectors such as solar and wind, energy storage, hydrogen and its derivatives, EV charging stations, as well as grid infrastructure development,” he said.

“The energy businesses that help to enable this transition will also create opportunities to monetise carbon credits,” he said, adding that demand for carbon credits is projected to grow at over 30% and exceed $3t by 2030.

Adani said the availability of green electron will be the primary driver of a nation’s economic progress. 

“And in my opinion, the market size for the green electron as of now has no limits,” he added.

Earlier, Adani Power announced the acquisition of a 99.8% equity stake in Mirzapur Thermal Energy U.P. Private Limited, making it one of its subsidiaries.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035
This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
