ACME Group’s 400 MW solar power project in Andhra Pradesh, featuring integrated battery energy storage, has swiftly moved from state-level approvals to construction in just four months.
The Rs 3,000-crore project, developed under the firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) framework, combines solar power generation with large-scale battery storage to provide round-the-clock renewable energy. Scheduled for commissioning by 2026, the project is expected to bolster grid stability and contribute to India’s clean energy transition. Once completed, the project will significantly enhance the state’s clean energy capacity.
Nara Lokesh, the state’s Education, IT, and Electronics Minister, stated, "Speed matters. Happy to see progress from State Govt approval to ground action in 4 months at ACME's 400 MW solar + battery storage project in Anantapur. This ?3,000 crore project will be commissioned by 2026. Andhra Pradesh is proud to be a partner in boosting grid reliability and accelerating India's clean energy journey." He also praised the state’s proactive approach in facilitating renewable energy, storage, and green manufacturing projects through its responsive single-desk clearance system.
