ACME Solar Holdings Limited has successfully commissioned the first phase of its maiden wind power project, located in Shapar, Gujarat. The current commissioning of 26.4 MW is part of the 50 MW ACME Pokhran wind project to be fully commissioned in phases. With this milestone the company’s total operational capacity has increased from 2,705 MW to 2,731.4 MW. Strategically located in one of India’s highest wind resource regions, it is poised to be an important contribution to India’s renewable energy goals.
The Project has been financed through Power Finance Corporation (PFC) & constructed through in-house EPC, deploying Envision 3.3 MW turbines. The clean energy harnessed through the project is pooled at 33/ 220 kV pooling station and stepped up for evacuation to Shapar sub-station using a dedicated single circuit 220 kV transmission line. The project would share the sub-station with ACME Solar’s another upcoming 100 MW wind power project which is currently in advanced stages of construction.
The power generated from the project will be sold through the 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) signed between ACME Pokhran and Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited.
