New Delhi: ACME Solar has placed a battery energy storage system (BESS) order exceeding 3.1 gigawatt-hours (GWh) — one of the largest such procurements in India to date — the company said in a statement on Monday. The order has been placed with global suppliers Zhejiang Narada and Trina Energy, both known for their high-efficiency and scalable storage systems.
The equipment will be deployed across ACME Solar’s firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) and battery-linked projects, scheduled for commissioning over the next 12–18 months across multiple states.
Deliveries will take place in a phased manner during the current financial year. ACME said the procurement fits within its budgeted capital expenditure and reflects a balance between cost-efficiency, technical performance, and supplier reliability.
The company noted that ordering early would accelerate project execution and enable timely revenue realisation. The BESS equipment conforms to international IEC and UL standards, ensuring safety, reliability and high performance.
ACME Solar currently has a diversified renewable energy portfolio of 6,970 MW, including 550 MWh of storage. Its operational capacity stands at 2,890 MW, with another 4,080 MW under various stages of development. With in-house EPC and O&M teams, ACME claims strong project execution and best-in-class performance in capacity utilisation and operating margins.
