ACME Solar Wins 300 MW Renewable Power Project With Storage
ACME Solar won a contract to provide 300 MW of renewable electricity.
The electricity will come from sources such as solar or wind and be supported by batteries.
Batteries help store energy and release it when people need it.
ACME will provide 1,200 MWh of electricity each day for four hours.
The agreed price is Rs 6 for each unit of electricity.
The company already has grid access and much of the land needed for the project.
The project still requires a power purchase agreement before it is added to the company’s storage pipeline.
If that agreement is signed, ACME’s planned battery storage capacity will rise to about 15 GWh.
ACME Solar Holdings won 300 MW of contracted capacity in a Solar Energy Corporation of India auction.
The firm will supply 1,200 MWh daily over four hours at a tariff of Rs 6 per unit.
The project will use renewable generation and storage to provide firm, dispatchable power.
ACME said it already has grid connectivity and much of the required land secured.
After the power purchase agreement is signed, the project will add 1.2 GWh to ACME’s storage pipeline, taking it to about 15 GWh.
