NTPC and the Indian Army have joined forces to introduce a Solar Hydrogen-based microgrid at Chushul, Ladakh, aimed at providing a stable power supply using Green Hydrogen to off-grid Army locations. Led by Hon’ble Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh, the project is designed to operate independently, offering 200kW of power round-the-clock using hydrogen as an energy storage medium. This initiative will replace existing diesel gensets in challenging terrains, ensuring a sustainable power supply despite extreme winter conditions. With a focus on decarbonisation, NTPC's system integrates renewable energy sources, reduces carbon emissions, and promotes a cleaner energy ecosystem. The project in Ladakh leverages the region's solar irradiance and low temperatures to produce green energy, reducing reliance on fuel logistics and enhancing self-sufficiency. NTPC's commitment to 60GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032 includes initiatives like hydrogen blending, carbon capture, and electric buses, positioning the company as a key player in green hydrogen technology and energy storage.
