Extension of Schedule Commissioning

ACME Solar said its project was also recently granted an extension to its Scheduled Commercial Operation Date (SCOD) by the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC), following the recognition of Force Majeure events under the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The revised SCOD date is March 5, 2026, and the project has been early commissioned with a 44 MW capacity in the first two phases.

This wind power project has been financed through Power Finance Corporation (PFC) & constructed through in-house EPC, deploying SANY’s 4 MW turbines. The power generated from the project will be sold through the 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) signed between ACME Eco Clean and Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL). 

The company has fast-tracked the development of its wind energy project, moving from its initial announcement in December 2024 to now, nearing commissioning of the full 100 MW capacity.

For instance, Acme Solar Holdings, earlier in May 2025, commissioned the first phase of its maiden wind power project at Shapar, in Gujarat. I added about 26.4 MW to its operational capacity as part of the planned 50 MW ACME Pokhran wind project. The project was also financed by Power Finance Corporation (PFC) and developed using in-house EPC capabilities, deploying Envision 3.3 MW turbines. The electricity from the Pokhran wind project will be supplied under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL).
