ACME Solar Holdings Ltd. has announced the commissioning of Phase-I of its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Rajasthan. This new infrastructure adds a substantial 53.73 megawatts (MW) of discharge capacity and 222.969 megawatt-hours (MWh) of storage capacity to the company's portfolio.
The project was executed through ACME Sigma Urja Private Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of ACME Solar, and is located at Village Neemri, Tehsil Rawatbhata, in the Chittorgarh District of Rajasthan. This BESS component is part of a broader 250 MW/1,069 MWh Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project. While the BESS phase is now operational, the corresponding renewable energy generation component remains under development.
