ACME Solar commissions 1st phase of 26.4 MW wind project in Gujarat; operational capacity reaches 2,731.4 MW
ACME Solar
Holdings Ltd has commissioned the first phase of its 50 MW
wind power project
at Shapar in Gujarat, adding 26.4 MW and taking the company's total operational
renewable energy capacity
to 2,731.4 MW, according to a company statement.
The ACME Pokhran wind project is being implemented in phases, and the 26.4 MW capacity commissioned is the initial stage. Prior to this, the company's operational capacity stood at 2,705 MW.
The project is financed by Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and constructed in-house by ACME's EPC division using Envision 3.3 MW turbines. The power generated is pooled at a 33/220 kV pooling station and stepped up for evacuation via a dedicated single circuit 220 kV transmission line to the Shapar sub-station.
The Shapar sub-station will also be used for evacuating power from ACME's upcoming 100 MW wind project currently under advanced stages of construction.
The power generated from the ACME Pokhran wind project will be sold under a 25-year
Power Purchase Agreement
signed with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Ltd (GUVNL).
ACME Solar Holdings has a total renewable energy portfolio of 6,970 MW comprising solar, wind, firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE), and hybrid projects. Of this, 2,731.4 MW is operational, while the remaining 4,238.6 MW is at various stages of implementation.
