Leading Power Producer[1]
ACME Solar Holdings is one of India's largest renewable energy-independent power producers (“IPP”) and among India's top 10 renewable energy players in terms of operational capacity as of June 30, 2024.
Integrated Renewable Energy Projects[1]
- Portfolio Diversity: ACME Solar operates across multiple renewable technologies, such as solar, wind, and hybrid energy systems, along with FDRE, which provides firm, on-demand power through energy storage.
- Geographic Reach: Projects are distributed across 10 Indian states, chosen for their renewable energy potential.[2]
- Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs): Long-term contracts, typically spanning 25 years, with government and private entities, ensure a stable cash flow and mitigate demand risk. Most PPAs include fixed tariff rates, reducing revenue volatility.
End-to-End Project Lifecycle Management[3]
- Project Development: ACME Solar manages all project phases in-house, from land acquisition, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) to operations and maintenance (O&M).
- EPC and O&M Capabilities: The company’s in-house teams handle EPC and O&M functions, allowing them to control costs, monitor real-time performance, and minimize reliance on third-party contractors.
- Energy Storage and Dispatchable Solutions: FDRE projects include storage components (battery or pumped hydro), allowing ACME to deliver power during peak demand periods, complementing intermittent energy sources.[4]
