Firm & Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) ACME Group’s 400 MW Solar Power Project with Integrated Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Anantapur district has made significant progress, according to an official release.
From approval to physical execution on site, the project is said to have moved from permit to construction within four months and reflects Andhra Pradesh’s renewed focus on speed, certainty and execution in facilitating investment.
With a total investment of ₹3,000 crore, the project combines large-scale solar generation with battery storage, enabling 24/7 reliable renewable energy. The project is expected to significantly increase grid stability while supporting India’s clean energy transition.
IT & HRD Minister Nara Lokesh welcomed the progress made by ACME Solar and reaffirmed the state’s commitment to accelerate investments in clean energy.
Mr. Lokesh said speed (of doing business) matters and was happy that the project had progressed from state government approval to ground action in four months and that Andhra Pradesh was proud to be a partner in improving grid reliability and accelerating India’s clean energy journey.
The ACME FDRE project is in line with Andhra Pradesh’s broader strategy to become a national hub for renewable energy and advanced energy solutions, leveraging land-ready, robust transmission infrastructure and a responsive one-stop clearance system, he noted, reiterating that the state government will continue to provide proactive support to investors in renewables, storage and green generation, ensuring that projects move from scope to impact.
