ACME Solar Holdings Ltd has commissioned an additional 155 MW / 470.25 MWh of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity through its subsidiaries, marking a significant step in its energy storage expansion strategy.
With this addition, the company’s total commissioned BESS capacity has increased to 297.67 MW / 951.74 MWh, strengthening its position in the fast-evolving energy storage segment.
Expansion Aligned with Long-Term Storage Strategy
The newly operational capacity forms part of ACME Solar’s broader plan to develop 835 MW / 3,114.64 MWh of BESS capacity across multiple special purpose vehicles (SPVs). This phased expansion reflects the company’s focus on building scalable storage infrastructure to complement renewable energy generation.
Project Deployment and Grid Integration
The commissioned projects are located in Rajasthan and are connected to the Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS), ensuring seamless integration with the national power grid.
These storage assets will operate on a merchant basis, allowing the company to capitalise on price differentials in electricity markets. By storing power during low-demand periods and supplying it during peak hours, ACME Solar aims to enhance revenue realisation and operational efficiency.
Enhancing Grid Stability and Efficiency
Battery energy storage systems play a critical role in modern power infrastructure by improving grid stability and reliability. The systems are designed to store surplus energy generated during off-peak periods and release it when demand rises.
This capability supports efficient energy utilisation, reduces wastage, and helps balance fluctuations in supply and demand—particularly important in grids with increasing renewable energy penetration.
Summary
ACME Solar Holdings has commissioned 155 MW / 470.25 MWh of battery energy storage capacity in Rajasthan, taking its total BESS capacity to 297.67 MW / 951.74 MWh. The projects, connected to the national grid, will operate on a merchant basis, enabling revenue optimisation through peak and off-peak pricing. The expansion aligns with the company’s broader strategy to scale up energy storage and support grid stability.
