Sagar Adani Urges Faster Electrification At Global Energy Dialogue In London
Sagar Adani urges global acceleration of electrification efforts.
Adani Green Energy Ltd. Executive Director Sagar Adani called for accelerated electrification of global economies while speaking at the inaugural Adani Green Energy Dialogue held at the Science Museum in London during London Climate Action Week, emphasising the need for renewable energy systems supported by large-scale storage to strengthen energy security and sustainability.
The dialogue, organised by Adani Green Energy in partnership with the Energy Transitions Commission (ETC), brought together policymakers, investors, industry leaders and climate experts to discuss the policy frameworks, financing models and infrastructure requirements needed to speed up the global shift toward clean energy. The event focused on how nations can balance energy affordability, security and sustainability amid growing geopolitical and economic uncertainty.
Speaking to delegates, Sagar Adani described the global energy landscape as facing a “trifecta” of challenges—energy security, affordability and sustainability. He argued that electrification is no longer optional for countries aiming for resilient economic growth and greater energy independence, and said renewable energy systems must be paired with storage technologies to ensure consistent and reliable power supply.

He highlighted the importance of integrating renewable generation with battery energy storage systems (BESS) and pumped hydro storage projects, noting that such technologies are essential to overcoming intermittency issues and enabling round-the-clock clean electricity. According to him, only a fully integrated system can deliver the scale of transformation required for long-term energy transition goals.
Focusing on India’s energy outlook, he said the country’s rising electricity demand would require nearly 2,000 GW of additional capacity over the next two decades, along with a diversified energy mix that includes renewables, hydro, thermal and nuclear power. He stressed the importance of reducing dependence on imported fuels by accelerating domestic electrification and infrastructure development.
He also outlined the Adani Group’s long-term strategy, including a target of 50 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, major investments in grid infrastructure, utility-scale battery storage, pumped hydro systems, green hydrogen, and a planned 10 GW nuclear portfolio by 2035. He added that the group’s commitment of over $100 billion toward energy transition projects reflects a coordinated, long-term approach to building large-scale clean energy systems.
