ACME Solar Boosts Storage Capacity in Rajasthan

New Commissioned Capacity: 35.77 MW / 143.08 MWh
Cumulative Operational Capacity: 195.35 MW / 781.40 MWh

Reader Takeaway: Consistent project execution in battery storage strengthens revenue visibility, though investors must track the final 104.65 MW milestone.

What just happened

ACME Solar Holdings Limited (ASHL), through its subsidiary ACME Greentech Seventh Private Limited, has commissioned an additional 35.77 MW / 143.08 MWh of its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project. This site is located in Kelan, Bikaner district, Rajasthan.

Why this matters

This commissioning is a critical step in the phased development of the company’s Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) initiative. By reaching 195.35 MW of its 300 MW target, the company demonstrates steady operational progress. The existence of a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with SJVN Limited ensures long-term revenue stability and mitigates off-take uncertainty for the project.

What changes now

With this latest addition, the majority of the BESS project is now live. The remaining 104.65 MW is the final leg of the planned 300 MW capacity. Future filings will likely provide updates on the commercial commissioning of the remaining portion.

Risks to watch

Investors should monitor the timeline for the final capacity deployment. Any technical delays or supply chain bottlenecks for the remaining 104.65 MW could defer expected cash flows from the total contracted capacity.

Context metrics

• Total planned project capacity: 300 MW / 1200 MWh
• Operational status: 195.35 MW / 781.40 MWh
• Counterparty: SJVN Limited

What to track next

The final commissioning of the remaining 104.65 MW of BESS capacity will be the next major trigger for project completion. Market participants will also track the operational efficiency of the existing capacity to gauge long-term profitability.
