ACME Solar Commissions 107 MW Storage Capacity in Rajasthan
ACME Solar Holdings Ltd has successfully operationalized 107.36 MW / 437.49 MWh of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity. The cumulative operational BESS capacity for the company has now reached 4.96 GWh following the October 2, 2026, Commercial Operation Date (COD).
Reader Takeaway: Expanded storage capacity strengthens long-term grid stability and fulfills key 25-year power supply contracts in Rajasthan.
What just happened
ACME Solar achieved the commissioning of storage units across two strategic sites in Rajasthan. The first is a 53.73 MW unit at Neemri, Chittorgarh, linked to the Neemuch substation under a Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) framework. The second is a 53.63 MW unit in Kelan, Bikaner, connected to the Bikaner III substation, forming part of a larger Assured Peak Power project.
Why this matters
The commissioning underscores ACME Solar's capability to deliver large-scale, complex renewable energy solutions that include storage, which is vital for managing grid variability. By securing these projects under 25-year Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with National Renewable Energy Implementing Agencies (REIA), the company locks in long-term revenue visibility.
Project Status
Both projects are part of larger development pipelines. The Chittorgarh FDRE project and the 300 MW Bikaner peak power project are both slated for full capacity commissioning within the current financial year.
Context Metrics
ACME Solar manages a total contracted portfolio of 8,370 MW. Of this, approximately 3,057 MW is currently operational. The company continues to leverage its integrated in-house Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) teams to execute these projects.
What to track next
Investors should monitor the timeline for the final capacity commissioning of the full 300 MW Bikaner project and the remaining phases of the FDRE project, which are expected to reach completion by the end of the current fiscal year.
