What was announced
- ACME Solar Holdings, through its wholly owned subsidiary ACME Sigma Urja Private Limited, has additionally commissioned a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) component of 17.91 MW/74.323 MWh.
- This capacity is part of the 250 MW/1069 MWh (discharge capacity) FDRE project located at Village Neemri, Tehsil Rawatbhata, District Chittorgarh, Rajasthan.
- The commissioning was done on October 23, 2026, and the Commercial Operation Date (COD) for this capacity is October 25, 2026.
- The update continues an earlier intimation dated September 30, 2026 on the same project.
What a BESS does
- A Battery Energy Storage System stores electricity in batteries and releases it when needed. For a renewable project, it helps make supply available beyond the hours when the sun is shining.
- Capacity is stated in two ways: MW (the power or rate at which electricity can be delivered) and MWh (the amount of energy that can be stored and discharged).
- The update describes the project figures as "discharge capacity".
Where the project now stands
- Cumulative commissioned BESS capacity at ACME Sigma Urja Private Limited is 71.640 MW/297.292 MWh (discharge capacity).
- The full FDRE project BESS size is 250 MW/1069 MWh, so commissioning is happening in steps rather than all at once.
- The September 30, 2026 intimation was the earlier reference point for this build-up.
What to keep an eye on
- The COD of October 25, 2026 for the newly commissioned 17.91 MW/74.323 MWh component.
- Further commissioning updates as the remaining project capacity moves toward the 250 MW/1069 MWh mark.
The update does not state the revenue, tariff or contract terms linked to this capacity; it is an operational update on commissioning.
