ACME Solar's 300 MW Project in Rajasthan Now Has Dedicated Transmission Capacity, Alleviating Previous Constraints
ACME Solar Holdings Limited, a leading integrated renewable energy player, has clarified that its 300 MW solar project in Rajasthan, developed by ACME Sikar Solar Pvt Ltd and connected at Bikaner-Il substation, has received General Network Access (GNA) effectiveness approval. This long-term GNA effectiveness approval ensures that the project is currently evacuating its full capacity of 300 MW, being fully supported by dedicated transmission capacity and no longer subject to the evacuation constraints mentioned in a recent media report. The report stated that nearly 4300 MW of solar projects, including ACME's, were facing full curtailment during daytime hours due to exhausted transmission margins. However, with the commissioning of the Narela—Khetri transmission line, the GNA (Long Term GNA) for approximately 4,300 MW of solar projects in Rajasthan has become effective across various developers, significantly easing the transmission constraints highlighted in the article.
