ACME Solar Commissions Renewable Energy and Battery Storage Capacity in Rajasthan
Indian independent power producer ACME Solar has commissioned 66.68MW of solar capacity and a 300MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) at its hybrid renewable project in Bikaner, Rajasthan. The solar plant is part of the first phase of a planned 300MW solar component within the company's inaugural hybrid project, which will also include 100MW of wind capacity. Power from this facility will be sold to NTPC under a power purchase agreement (PPA), with financing provided by the Power Finance Corporation. In parallel, ACME Solar’s subsidiary has commissioned phase one of its BESS element for a firm and dispatchable renewable energy project at 53.63MW/300MWh capacity out of an intended total of 300MW/1.58GWh. This initiative is supported by a PPA with SJVN and financing from REC, aiming to complete the full BESS installation by Q3 2026. ACME Solar’s operational renewable energy capacity now totals approximately 3.05GW, while its BESS capacity exceeds 4GWh at 4.16GWh. The company's contracted portfolio across various technologies stands at 8.37GW.
