ACME Solar Holdings has commissioned 66.68 MW of solar power capacity and a 300 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Bikaner, Rajasthan. The commissioning took place on September 16, 2026, expanding the company’s operational renewable energy portfolio.
This development involves two key components: Phase-I of a hybrid renewable energy project and Phase-I of a Front-Of-The-Meter (FDRE) storage project. Both are located at Kelan Village in Bikaner.
Hybrid Project Commissioning
Through its subsidiary ACME Renewtech Private Limited, the company commissioned 66.68 MW of solar capacity out of a total planned 300 MW solar component. This forms part of Acme Solar's first hybrid renewable energy project, which combines 300 MW of solar with 100 MW of wind capacity.
The Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for this hybrid project has been signed with NTPC Limited. Long-term project financing is secured from PFC. Acme Solar expects to commission the entire 300 MW solar capacity by the end of Q3 FY27.
BESS Capacity Expansion
Separately, through subsidiary ACME Greentech Seventh Private Limited, the company commissioned Phase-I of the BESS component for its FDRE project. This phase comprises 53.63 MW / 300 MWh out of the project's total planned 300 MW / 1581 MWh BESS capacity.
This marks Acme Solar's first assured off-peak power supply project. The PPA was signed with SJVN Limited, with long-term finance provided by REC. The company aims to commission the entire BESS capacity for this project by Q3 of the current fiscal.
Operational Portfolio Update
With these additions, Acme Solar's total operational renewable energy capacity stands at approximately 3,057 MW. Its operational BESS capacity has crossed the 4 GWh milestone, reaching a total of 4.16 GWh.
