ACME Solar Holdings Limited has commissioned an additional 19.8 MW of wind power capacity at its ongoing project in Shapar, Gujarat. This follows the earlier commissioning of 26.4 MW in May 2025, taking the total installed capacity at the site to 46.2 MW out of a planned 50 MW.
The Shapar wind project, located in a high wind resource region of Gujarat, is being implemented under ACME Pokhran, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) of the company. The project is financed by Power Finance Corporation (PFC).
Electricity generated from the project is being supplied under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL). ACME Solar is executing the project using its in-house Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) capabilities.
The wind energy generated is evacuated through a dedicated single-circuit 220 kV transmission line to the Shapar substation. A 33/220 kV pooling station is used to step up the voltage for grid integration. The substation will also support ACME’s other upcoming wind project, currently in advanced stages of development.
With this commissioning, ACME Solar’s total operational capacity has increased to 2,826.2 MW. Full commissioning of the 50 MW Shapar wind project is expected in the coming days.
