ACME Solar Expands in Gujarat with Wind Project, Secures Tata Power FDRE PPA

ACME Solar Holdings Ltd. has commissioned the first 28 MW phase of its 100 MW wind power project in Surendranagar, Gujarat.

The ACME Ecoclean wind project, financed by Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and executed through ACME’s in-house EPC division, features SANY 4 MW turbines. Power generated is pooled at a 33/220 kV station and transmitted to the Shapar substation via a dedicated 220 kV line, sharing infrastructure with ACME’s existing 50 MW wind installation.

Upon full commissioning, ACME’s total renewable capacity will rise from 2,890 MW to 2,918 MW. Electricity from the project will be supplied under a 25-year PPA with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd.

Simultaneously, ACME Solar has signed a 25-year PPA with Tata Power Company Ltd. (Tata Power-D) for its 50 MW Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project. "The PPA has been signed at a tariff of INR 4.43 per unit for a minimum annual Capacity Utilisation Factor (CUF) of 40 percent  and four hours of peak-hour supply with 90 percent availability on a monthly basis. This project would combine multiple renewable energy technologies including Solar and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to meet the supply obligations as per the PPA. With this milestone, the company has signed PPAs for a cumulative capacity of 600 MW and 550 MWh of standalone BESS projects in this financial year till date," said the firm in its statement.

With a diversified portfolio spanning solar, wind, storage, FDRE, and hybrid solutions, ACME Solar leverages its in-house EPC and O&M capabilities to execute projects efficiently while maintaining industry-leading performance. These recent milestones underscore the company’s expanding role in supporting India’s renewable energy ambitions.
