ACME Solar Holdings Limited has achieved a major milestone in India’s renewable energy sector by operationalizing more than 2 GWh of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity in Rajasthan. With this development, the company has become one of the early renewable energy players in the country to reach such a large scale in energy storage deployment.
The company’s total operational BESS capacity now stands at 591.18 MW, which equals 2,031.24 MWh. This capacity is spread across multiple subsidiaries located in Rajasthan. The milestone is part of ACME Solar’s larger plan to scale up its energy storage capacity to 10 GWh by 2027, showing its strong focus on future-ready energy solutions.
These battery storage systems play an important role in improving the performance of the power grid. They store electricity when demand is low and release it during peak hours when demand is high. This helps in balancing the gap between electricity supply and demand. As a result, the systems improve grid stability and ensure better use of available power resources, especially as renewable energy sources like solar and wind are added to the grid.
ACME Solar currently manages a total renewable energy portfolio of 8,071 MW across different technologies, including solar, wind, hybrid projects, and firm and dispatchable renewable energy solutions. Out of this, 2,990 MW is already operational, while 5,081 MW is under construction. The under-construction portfolio also includes around 15 GWh of upcoming BESS projects. In addition, the company has signed power purchase agreements for 3,280 MW capacity.
The company credits its strong execution capabilities for this progress. It follows an integrated business model with in-house Engineering, Procurement, and Construction, along with Operations and Maintenance teams. This approach allows ACME Solar to manage projects efficiently from start to finish, ensuring timely completion, cost control, and high performance.
The company officially shared this development with stock exchanges through a voluntary submission, highlighting its continued efforts to strengthen India’s clean energy infrastructure.
