ACME Solar Holdings has announced the commissioning of Phase-II of its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Rajasthan. The development marks another step in the company’s efforts to strengthen grid-scale energy storage infrastructure and support India’s growing renewable energy capacity.
The newly commissioned phase adds 38 MW / 82 MWh of battery energy storage capacity to the project. The facility has been developed through the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, ACME Suryodaya Private Limited, which is responsible for implementing the project.
According to the company, the project is located in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan, a region that has emerged as a key hub for renewable energy generation and infrastructure development in the country.
The BESS installation forms part of a much larger 285 MW / 600 MWh battery energy storage project being developed by ACME Solar. Once fully operational, the project is expected to significantly enhance grid flexibility and support the integration of renewable energy sources.
ACME Solar confirmed that the Commercial Operation Date (COD) for the Phase-II capacity has been declared on March 5, 2026, marking the start of commercial operations for the newly added storage capacity.
Battery Energy Storage Systems play an important role in modern power systems by storing excess electricity and supplying it when demand increases. Projects like this help improve grid reliability while enabling greater adoption of renewable energy across India.
