ACME Solar Holdings Limited has signed a significant Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with NHPC Limited for a 250 MW Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) project in Rajasthan. The agreement spans 25 years and has been secured at a tariff of ₹4.56 per kWh, with a minimum annual Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF) of 40% and a commitment to meet 90% of peak power demand for 4 hours each day.
The project is designed to leverage a hybrid energy mix comprising solar, wind, and battery storage, and will be connected to an ISTS substation with existing connectivity. This development reinforces ACME Solar's strategic role in India's clean energy transition.
With this addition, ACME Solar's PPA-signed capacity now stands at 5,130 MW, of which 2,826.2 MW is operational. The company also has a confirmed project pipeline of 1,840 MW for which Letters of Award have been received. Notably, 86% of its offtake agreements are with central government entities.
The project has already received regulatory clearance from the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC), enhancing its implementation timeline certainty.
