The Gujarat Hybrid Renewable Energy Park or Khavda Solar Park is a renewable energy park under construction near Vighakot village in Kutch district of Gujarat, India, near Pakistan. Slated to be the world's largest hybrid renewable energy park, it is being built on 72,600 hectares (179,000 acres) of waste land. It is expected to generate 30 gigawatts (GW) from solar panels and wind turbines, enough to power 18 million Indian homes. 1 GW capacity was commissioned in March 2024.
The Power Grid Corporation of India will manage the electric power transmission. The park is expected to generate 100,000 jobs and attract an investment of ₹150,000 crore (US$18 billion). It also accounts for 5 crore tonnes carbon emission reductions each year. The government also has plans to install 14 GWh grid-scale battery storage system.
The Ministry of Power plans to spend ₹18,598 crore (US$2.2 billion) to build infrastructure to move 7 gigawatt from the park.
