ACME Solar Holdings' subsidiary has signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) to supply electricity generated from its 150 MW hybrid solar project. This hybrid project combines both solar and wind energy, reflecting ACME Solar’s ongoing commitment to expanding renewable energy production in India. The agreement underlines the growing importance of hybrid renewable solutions to ensure a stable and sustainable power supply, which leverages both solar and wind capacities to balance generation fluctuations.

ACME Solar, one of India’s leading renewable energy companies, aims to contribute significantly to the country's clean energy goals. The hybrid project is part of India's broader mission to transition to green energy by maximizing the potential of renewables in both rural and urban grids. This 150 MW project will help meet growing energy demands while reducing carbon emissions, supporting India’s move towards a more sustainable energy future.

By integrating wind and solar power, the project is expected to optimize energy generation during different times of the day and weather conditions. Hybrid projects are increasingly seen as a solution to address variability in renewable energy supply. This project also aligns with the government’s goal of achieving 500 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2030, further supporting India’s National Solar Mission.

ACME Solar's latest deal reflects the rising investor and corporate interest in clean energy initiatives, and it highlights the pivotal role of such projects in India’s green energy transition. As renewable technologies advance, hybrid solutions like this will become essential in ensuring a reliable and efficient energy supply across the country.

Encroachments Delay Rs 1 Billion Ghatkopar Bridge Project

The construction of a new cable-stayed rail overbridge at Ghatkopar and the widening of the Andheri–Ghatkopar Link Road (AGLR) have been delayed due to the presence of nearly 250 encroached structures on both sides of the road. In response, Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani has directed officials to carry out a structural audit of the existing bridge over the railway line and enforce temporary restrictions on heavy vehicles to ensure public safety. The bridge, which starts at the Golibar Road junction near LBS Marg and extends up to the Eastern Express Highway (EEH), serves as a critic..
