Adani acquired a 100% interest in SB Energy India from SoftBank Group Corp, which owned 80% of the company, and Bharti Group, which owned 20%.

SB Energy India’s portfolio consists of 15 projects spread across four Indian states. They comprise 4,180MWac of solar, making up 84% of the total portfolio, followed by 450MW of wind-solar hybrid capacity (9%) and 324MW of wind (7%).

Off these, 1,700MW are in operation, 2,554MW are under construction and 700MW are near construction. All the projects have 25-year power purchase agreements (PPAs) with “sovereign rated counterparties”, said Adani Energy.

“The value accretive acquisition boosts [Adani Energy’s] operational portfolio to 5.4GW and its overall portfolio to 19.8GW implying a 4x growth locked-in,” added a company statement.

Meanwhile, just last week, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani announced that the Group would invest over US$20 billion across the next 10 years in renewable energy generation.

Earlier this month, Adani raised US$750 million through a green bond offer, securing the debt and equity needed to reach its 25GW renewables target.
