ACME Solar has commissioned the second 16 MW phase of a wind project in Gujarat, bringing additional renewable capacity online as developers diversify portfolios across solar and wind to optimise merchant and contracted revenue streams. 

The incremental commissioning improves project economics by capturing higher capacity factors at strategic locations and offers grid balancing benefits alongside nearby solar assets that produce complementary generation profiles. 

For developers, staged commissioning also helps unlock construction finance and improves the ability to secure long-term offtake or merchant market returns as India scales variable renewable penetration. 

The move is consistent with broader developer activity to fast-track capacity additions in wind-rich regions while leveraging state transmission corridors.
