ACME Solar Holdings Limited has commissioned a combined 107.36 MW/437.49 MWh of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity across two firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) projects in Rajasthan, with commercial operation declared from October 2, 2026.

The commissioned capacity comprises Phase III of the BESS component at ACME’s Bikaner project and Phase I of the BESS component at its Chittorgarh project. Both capacities were commissioned through separate wholly owned subsidiaries on September 30, 2026.

ACME Greentech Seventh Private Limited commissioned 53.63 MW/214.52 MWh of BESS capacity at its FDRE project in Village Kelan, Tehsil Chhatargarh, District Bikaner, Rajasthan. The commissioned capacity forms part of the project’s 300 MW/1,200 MWh total BESS discharge capacity.

The commercial operation date for the commissioned capacity is October 2, 2026. With this addition, ACME Greentech Seventh has achieved cumulative commissioned BESS capacity of 159.58 MW/638.32 MWh.

A power purchase agreement (PPA) for the Bikaner project has been signed with SJVN Limited.

ACME Sigma Urja Private Limited commissioned 53.73 MW/222.969 MWh of BESS capacity under Phase I of its FDRE project at Village Neemri, Tehsil Rawatbhata, District Chittorgarh, Rajasthan. The capacity forms part of the project’s total 250 MW/1,069 MWh BESS discharge capacity.

The BESS component was commissioned on September 30, 2026, with a commercial operation date of October 2, 2026. The company said only the BESS component has been commissioned at present, while the corresponding renewable energy generation component remains under development.

Rezolv Energy, backed by Actis and Mubadala, has energised Phase 1 of the VIFOR Wind Farm in Buzău County, Romania, marking a major milestone for Romania’s renewable energy sector. With an installed capacity of 192MW, VIFOR Phase 1 is the largest wind project to be energised in Romania in more than a decade. Once Phase 2 is completed in 2027, VIFOR will have a capacity of 461MW, making it one of the highest-capacity onshore wind farms in Europe.

VIFOR Phase 1 comprises 30 EnVentus Vestas V162 turbines, each with a capacity of 6.4MW. The turbines have a tower height of 166 metres and a rotor diameter of 162 metres. Vestas also acted as the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) partner for Phase 1 of the project.

Once fully operational, VIFOR will generate enough electricity to power more than 270,000 homes and avoid approximately 540,000 tonnes of CO₂e emissions annually.

The first phase of the wind farm was inaugurated at an event that included representatives of the Romanian government and the local community. It follows the opening in May 2026 of the 225MW St. George solar park in Silistra, Bulgaria, which was the first of Rezolv Energy’s projects to be brought onstream.

The energising of VIFOR comes at an important moment for Romania’s energy transition. Wind capacity expanded rapidly between 2010 and 2015, after which growth stalled. Romania currently has just over 3GW of installed wind capacity, while its National Energy and Climate Plan targets 7.3GW by 2030. VIFOR Phase 1 marks an important step towards that target and signals the start of a new wave of large-scale wind projects that will help Romania reduce its emissions while strengthening its energy security.

VIFOR Phase 1 was supported by up to €291 million in project financing from a consortium of eight lenders led by Erste Group, UniCredit Group and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), alongside the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Intesa Sanpaolo Group, OTP Bank, Raiffeisen Bank International and Garanti BBVA Romania. Phase 2 is supported by additional financing facilities of up to €331 million, largely provided by lenders from the first phase.

The project is also supported by six long-term corporate power purchase agreements (PPAs) with T-Mobile Czech Republic, Slovak Telekom, CE Colo Czech Republic, Bekaert, A2A and Etem Gestamp. Together, these agreements represent more than 350GWh of clean power per year.

KPI Green Energy Limited has entered into a binding offer to acquire 100% of the equity and equity-like instruments of Alfanar Energy Private Limited (AEPL) and Netra Wind Private Limited (NWPL) for an enterprise value of approximately ₹2,410 crore.

The proposed acquisition will add 507.9 MW of operational wind power capacity to KPI Green Energy’s portfolio. AEPL owns 301.4 MW of wind capacity, while NWPL holds 206.5 MW. The assets are located in Bhuj, Gujarat, within the Kutch wind corridor.

Both portfolios are operational and revenue-generating, with long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) signed with the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). The AEPL projects were commissioned in March 2021, while the NWPL projects were commissioned in March 2024. The combined portfolio has approximately 21 years of remaining contracted life on a capacity-weighted basis.

The acquisition represents KPI Green Energy’s first large-scale acquisition in the wind energy segment. Upon completion, the company’s installed Independent Power Producer (IPP) capacity is expected to increase from approximately 1.16 GW to around 1.67 GW. KPI Green Energy expects to cross 2 GW of installed IPP capacity by the end of 2026.

The transaction remains subject to the execution of definitive agreements and customary conditions precedent, including lender, contractual and regulatory approvals. The transaction is expected to be completed by February 28, 2027.

According to KPI Green Energy, the acquisition will strengthen its presence in Gujarat’s Kutch wind corridor and expand its portfolio of operational renewable energy assets backed by long-term contracted revenues.

The move comes as KPI Green Energy continues to expand its renewable energy portfolio across solar, wind and hybrid projects. The company recently secured a ₹2,025 crore turnkey order for a 500 MW/550 MWp solar PV project in Rajasthan, further adding to its project pipeline.
