ACME Solar Holdings significantly expanded its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) portfolio by commissioning approximately 2.29 GWh of new storage capacity during the current financial year. Consequently, the company’s cumulative operational BESS capacity has reached 3.62 GWh across three project locations in Rajasthan. The achievement represents one of the fastest deployments of utility-scale battery energy storage systems in India. More importantly, it reinforces ACME Solar’s position as a key player in enhancing grid stability, managing peak electricity demand, and enabling greater integration of renewable energy into the national power grid. The newly commissioned battery storage capacity forms part of the company’s diversified renewable energy portfolio, which includes solar, wind, hybrid, Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE), and battery energy storage projects.
Expanding Renewable Energy Portfolio
Alongside its rapidly growing energy storage business, ACME Solar continues to strengthen its renewable energy generation portfolio. The company currently manages a diversified renewable energy portfolio of 8,070 MW, comprising:
2,990 MW of operational contracted capacity
5,080 MW under construction
Meanwhile, its operational Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) capacity now stands at approximately 3.62 GWh, with additional renewable energy and storage projects under various stages of development. The company also leverages its integrated engineering, procurement, construction (EPC), and operations & maintenance (O&M) capabilities to execute projects efficiently and at scale.
Battery Storage Drives India’s Clean Energy Transition
As India accelerates its renewable energy ambitions, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) have become increasingly critical to the country’s evolving power infrastructure. These systems help balance the variability of solar and wind power, improve grid reliability, store excess renewable electricity, and supply power during periods of peak demand. Consequently, battery storage has emerged as a vital enabler of India’s clean energy transition. As reported by manufacturingtodayindia.com, with the commissioning of an additional 2.29 GWh of storage capacity, ACME Solar has further strengthened its contribution to building a more resilient, flexible, and sustainable power system. The latest expansion also reflects the rapidly growing adoption of grid-scale battery energy storage as renewable energy penetration continues to rise across India.
