Technical RCA Closure Update: Further to the media statement issued by ACME Solar Holdings Limited (ACME Solar) regarding ACME Suryodaya BESS facility in Pokhran, Rajasthan, the root cause analysis has confirmed that the event originated due to an electrical short circuit, which caused the localized fire of the AC cables between the transformer and PCS, resulting in equipment shutdown. However, the fire did not damage other on-site equipment and was quickly brought under control. The restoration activities have been successfully completed. ACME Solar sincerely acknowledges the fast reaction provided by our on-site professional employees and technological support by partners during and after the incident.
