State-owned NTPC has partnered with the Indian Army to set up a Solar Hydrogen-based Microgrid in Chushul, Ladakh, providing a stable green hydrogen power supply to off-grid Army locations. The system, designed to operate independently using hydrogen as an energy storage medium, aims to supply 200 kW of power year-round. This initiative seeks to replace existing diesel gensets with a sustainable power supply despite harsh winter conditions in the region. The project, supported by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, highlights the integration of renewable energy sources, reduced carbon emissions, and the promotion of a cleaner and sustainable energy ecosystem. The Solar-Hydrogen microgrid is expected to offer a stable power supply under adverse conditions and enhance self-sufficiency in remote areas affected by road connectivity disruptions. The project leverages Ladakh's high solar irradiance and low temperatures to facilitate green energy production and reduce reliance on fuel logistics. Additionally, NTPC is conducting trials with a hydrogen bus in Leh and establishing a hydrogen fuelling station and solar plant, further supporting renewable energy targets and green technology advancement. NTPC's commitment to achieving 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032 aligns with its focus on green hydrogen technology and energy storage. The company's initiatives extend to hydrogen blending, carbon capture, electric buses, and smart NTPC townships, emphasizing its dedication to decarbonisation and sustainability in the energy sector.
