ACME Solar Holdings Limited has commissioned an additional 12 MW of wind power capacity in Gujarat, advancing the development of its 100 MW wind power project located in the Surendranagar district. The project is being executed through the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, ACME Eco Clean Energy Private Limited.
With the latest commissioning, the total operational capacity of the project has reached 68 MW, comprising 17 wind turbine generators (WTGs). The remaining capacity is expected to be commissioned in phases.
The 100 MW project is being developed using SANY wind turbine generators, each with a rated capacity of 4 MW. Once fully commissioned, the project will consist of 25 WTGs. The electricity generated from the project will be supplied to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL) under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA).
The project has been financed by Power Finance Corporation (PFC). The commissioning process was witnessed by officials from the Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) and Paschim Gujarat Vij Company Limited (PGVCL), in line with regulatory requirements.
The wind project forms part of ACME Solar’s broader strategy to expand its renewable energy portfolio across multiple technologies, including solar, wind, hybrid projects, and battery energy storage systems (BESS). The company has been actively increasing its presence in the wind energy segment, particularly in high wind potential states such as Gujarat.
Following this latest commissioning, ACME Group’s total operational renewable energy capacity has reached approximately 2,958 MW. In addition, the company has a substantial project pipeline, with around 4,562 MW currently under construction across various renewable energy technologies. This pipeline includes nearly 15 GWh of battery energy storage capacity, reflecting the company’s focus on integrating storage solutions with renewable generation to enhance grid reliability.
ACME Solar Holdings Limited is one of India’s leading independent power producers (IPPs) in the renewable energy sector. The company continues to expand its footprint through utility-scale projects, supported by long-term PPAs with central and state utilities, as India accelerates its transition toward clean energy and its long-term renewable capacity targets.
