ACME Solar commissions 75 MW in Rajasthan, project capacity reaches 240 MW
New Delhi:
ACME Solar Holdings Limited
has commissioned an additional 75 MW of renewable energy capacity at its
Sikar Solar project
in Rajasthan, taking the total commissioned capacity of the project to 240 MW out of a planned 300 MW.
This expansion raises the company's total operational capacity to 2806.4 MW.
The Sikar Solar power project is spread over approximately 1300 acres in Bikaner, Rajasthan. Power generated at the site is pooled at inverter stations and stepped up for evacuation to the Bikaner-II grid through a dedicated single-circuit 220 kV transmission line.
The project debt is financed by
Power Finance Corporation
Limited. Upon full commissioning, the project is expected to generate around 780 million units of clean energy annually.
The 300 MW Sikar project was won under the SECI-ISTS XVIII scheme by
ACME Solar
at a tariff of ₹ 3.05 per unit. The tariff has been adopted, and the
Power Purchase Agreement
(PPA) is expected to be signed soon. Meanwhile, the power generated from the 240 MW capacity already commissioned will be sold on power exchanges under merchant tariffs.

ACME Solar inks pact to supply 250 MW electricity from RE project in Rajasthan
New Delhi: ACME Solar Holdings on Friday said it has inked a pact with state-owned NHPC to supply 250 MW of electricity from a renewable energy project in Rajasthan. The power purchase agreement (PPA) has been signed at a tariff of Rs 4.56 per kWh for a minimum annual Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF) of 40 per cent and to meet 90 per cent of peak power requirement of 4 hours daily, according to a company statement. ACME Solar Holdings Ltd (ACME Solar) signed a 25-year PPA with NHPC Limited, a AAA-rated central government enterprise, for its 250 MW Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project in Rajasthan, the company said. This PPA marks a significant step in strengthening ACME Solar's footprint in the FDRE space while supporting India's clean energy ambitions through an innovative mix of solar, wind, and battery storage technology. The project will be connected to an ISTS (Inter-State Transmission System) substation for which connectivity is already in place. The requisite approval under section 63 of the Electricity Act 2003 for adoption of tariff has been issued by CERC (Central Electricity Regulatory Commission) on June 19, 2025, the company said. With this, the company's PPA-signed portfolio stands at 5,130 MW, of which 2,826.2 MW is already operational, and the balance is under various stages of implementation. ACME Solar's overall portfolio comprises 86 per cent offtake with central government enterprises and the remaining 14 per cent with State discoms. The company is an integrated renewable energy player with a diversified portfolio of 6,970 MW spanning solar, wind, FDRE and hybrid solutions. PTI
