ACME Solar Activates Initial Stage of Rajasthan's Sikar Solar Farm.

ACME Solar Holdings announced recently the successful commissioning of the initial phase of its 300-megawatt (MW) ACME Sikar Solar power project, located in Bikaner, Rajasthan. This first phase contributes 52.5 MW to the company's generation capacity. With this development, ACME Solar's total operational capacity has risen to 2,592.5 MW.

The company stated that the Sikar project's strategic location in a region with high solar irradiation positions it as a significant contributor to India's renewable energy objectives.

According to the company's statement, the 52.5 MW commissioning represents the first part of the larger 300 MW solar project, which will be brought online in subsequent phases. This initial step increases ACME Solar's operational capacity from the previous 2,540 MW.

The ACME Sikar Solar power project spans a substantial 1,300 acres in the Bikaner district of Rajasthan. The clean energy generated at the site will be collected at inverter stations and then transmitted to the Bikaner-II grid via a dedicated 220-kilovolt single circuit transmission line.

The project, financed by PFC Ltd, is projected to generate approximately 780 million units of clean electricity annually once fully commissioned. The power produced will be sold on power exchanges on a merchant basis and allocated based on the most commercially advantageous opportunities.

ACME Solar Holdings is a prominent integrated renewable energy company with a diverse portfolio totaling 6,970 MW, encompassing solar, wind, Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE), and hybrid solutions. Following this commissioning, ACME Solar's operational capacity stands at 2,592.5 MW, with an additional 4,377.5 MW currently in various stages of implementation.
