ACME Solar Holdings Limited has announced an important development in India’s renewable energy sector with the commissioning of the first phase of its large Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Rajasthan. The company successful completion of this initial phase, marking a major step toward strengthening the country’s clean energy infrastructure.
The project is being developed by ACME Sun Power Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ACME Solar Holdings. The first phase of the project has a capacity of 33.335 MW/160.48 MWh. This installation represents the beginning of a much larger energy storage project that is planned to reach a total capacity of 300 MW/1400 MWh once fully completed.
The battery storage facility is located in the village of Badi Sid, covering areas in the Phalodi and Jodhpur districts of Rajasthan. The location has been strategically selected to support the region’s power infrastructure and help integrate renewable energy into the grid more efficiently. According to the official stock exchange filing signed by Company Secretary Rajesh Sodhi, the commercial operation date (COD) for the first phase of the project has been set for March 8, 2026.
The disclosure was made in accordance with Regulation 30 of the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015. This regulation requires listed companies to inform investors and stock exchanges about significant developments that could impact their operations or financial position.
Large-scale battery energy storage systems are increasingly becoming an important part of renewable energy projects. These systems allow excess solar power generated during the day to be stored and supplied to the grid when demand is high or when solar generation is low. By enabling better energy management and grid stability, battery storage helps address one of the key challenges associated with renewable energy.
With this project, ACME Solar aims to strengthen its role in India’s clean energy transition. Once all phases of the 300 MW/1400 MWh project are completed, the facility is expected to significantly support grid stability and improve the reliability of renewable power supply in the region.
