📋orderbook
Current/ Expected Orderbook/ Pending Orders?
The transcript does not explicitly mention the current or expected order book or pending orders for Adani Green Energy Limited. However, some relevant insights related to project backlog and bidding are:
- There is a backlog of 42 GW of Letters of Award (LOAs) that have not yet been translated into Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and Power Sale Agreements (PSAs).
- Exposure to potential cancellations of solar PPAs from this 40 GW is very small for Adani Green.
- Tendering activity in the renewables sector has slowed compared to the past two years due to the backlog and grid constraints.
- Future tenders may shift towards round-the-clock (RTC) and peak power tenders rather than pure solar tenders.
- The company is focused on large-scale expansion and expects grid augmentation to enable ~10 GW additional capacity next year.
- Capex guidance for FY27 is INR 35,000-40,000 crore with a targeted capacity growth towards 50 GW by FY30.
