Adani Green Energy reported strong operational and financial performance for 9M FY24, with revenue from power supply up 57% to INR 5,794 crore and EBITDA up 52% to INR 5,412 crore, maintaining an industry-leading EBITDA margin of 92%. The company's operational capacity grew 16% to 8.4 GW, and sale of energy increased 59% to 16,293 million units, driven by improved capacity factors and greenfield additions. Management reiterated its 45 GW target by 2030, backed by a locked-in portfolio of 20.8 GW and a capital management framework including a INR 9,350 crore promoter warrant issue and a $3 billion construction financing facility. Key growth drivers include the Khavda mega project, hybrid capacity additions, and pumped storage expansion. Risks include execution delays due to transmission and supply chain constraints, and potential ALMM policy impacts on module costs.

Comparing Q3 FY24 vs Q2 FY24
4 new guidance4 dropped3 new risk3 risk resolved
NEW
Capacity addition of at least 2 GW in Q4 FY24

Management guided for at least 2 GW capacity addition in the next quarter (Q4 FY24), with a target of 2-2.5 GW.

NEW
Execution capacity to exceed 5 GW from next year

The company aims to scale execution capacity to north of 5 GW from next fiscal year, up from the current ~2.5 GW.

NEW
Pumped storage project implementation to start next fiscal year

Management confirmed that pumped storage project implementation will begin in the next financial year, with one project in advanced stages.

NEW
Merchant portfolio to reach low teens by end of decade

Merchant capacity is expected to grow to low teens (as a percentage of total portfolio) by 2030, from current 3-5%.

DROPPED
FY2024 capacity addition of 2.8-3 GW

Management guided for 2.8 to 3 GW capacity addition in FY2024, with most commissioning in the second half. Funding is fully secured.

DROPPED
45 GW target by 2030

Adani Green reiterated its target to reach 45 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, with a mix of solar, wind, pumped hydro, and batteries.

DROPPED
Refinancing of RG-One bonds at similar cost

Management expects to refinance the $500 million RG-One bond through USD PP market at an effective cost similar to current AGEL Holdco cost of ~9.6%, with no material increase.

DROPPED
Pumped storage FID by end of FY2024

Management expects to take a final investment decision (FID) on a pumped storage project before the end of FY2024, with construction cycle of 27-33 months.

NEW RISK
Execution delays due to transmission and supply chain

Transmission evacuation readiness and supply chain constraints for long-lead items could delay capacity additions.

NEW RISK
ALMM policy impact on module costs

Implementation of ALMM from April 2024 may restrict procurement from China, potentially increasing module costs for new projects.

NEW RISK
Pumped storage project execution risks

Pumped storage projects have long gestation periods (5 years) and require clearances; past industry stalling poses a risk.

RISK GONE
Execution risk for H2 commissioning

With only 200 MW added in H1, the company needs to commission ~2.6 GW in H2 to meet its 2.8-3 GW target. Any delays in Khavda or module supply could cause slippage.

RISK GONE
ALMM compliance for imported modules

An analyst raised concerns about using Chinese modules (non-ALMM) for projects with SCOD near March 2024. Management clarified that current projects are exempt, but future projects may face restrictions.

RISK GONE
Refinancing risk for Holdco bond

The $750 million Holdco bond maturing in FY2025 is expected to be repaid from a group liquidity pool, but any disruption in group-level liquidity could create refinancing pressure.
