New Delhi: ACME Solar Holdings on Wednesday said that it has secured Rs 3,404.57 crore in financing from Power Finance Corporation (PFC) for its 250-MW renewable energy project.

The funding will be used for the development and construction of the ACME Urja One (Phase-III) project, which spans across Fategarh-II in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan and Jamkhambhaliya in Devbhumi Dwarka, Gujarat, the company said in a statement.

PFC will serve as the sole financier for this project with a repayment tenor of 19 years, it said, adding that the project is expected to be commissioned next year.
