ACME Solar, Gurugram-based renewable energy company, has successfully commissioned a 300MW solar power plant project for Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company (MSEDCL).
The electricity generated by this plant will be distributed throughout Maharashtra and will be enough to power over six lakh homes.
The solar power plant project is situated at village Badiseed in the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan.
Sandeep Kashyap, Chief Operating Officer of ACME Solar, said, “This is the largest single-location project for the company so far. We faced two consecutive rounds of the Covid-19 pandemic that brought working at the sites to a standstill. Prices of nearly all components peaked and freight increased many folds. We could overcome all the shortcomings and commissioned the project in the shortest available time”.
The ACME Group has a solar portfolio of more than 6 GWp. The company currently has 1.5 GWp of capacity operational, with an additional 10 GWp under construction. These are spread across 13 Indian states and the Sultanate of Oman.
The company is known for its innovation and has established the world’s first integrated pilot project for Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia in Bikaner, Rajasthan. Green Hydrogen is produced in this project using 5MWp of solar power, which can be scaled up to 10 MWp. The plant will reduce CO2 emissions by about 4400 tons per year. The Company has gained knowledge, experience, and learning from this R&D pilot, which is being used in large-scale Green Hydrogen and Green Ammonia plants under development overseas.
By 2030, ACME wants to be the world’s leading green energy provider, producing 10 million tons of green ammonia and hydrogen per year. ACME has begun developing projects in various geographies in collaboration with various governments, partners, and stakeholders.
