NTPC, in collaboration with the Indian Army, is embarking on a groundbreaking initiative to establish a Solar Hydrogen-based Microgrid in Chushul, Ladakh. The project, inaugurated by Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh, aims to provide a reliable power supply using Green Hydrogen to off-grid Army locations. This innovative system will operate independently, supplying 200kW of power throughout the year, replacing diesel gensets despite harsh winter conditions. NTPC's 25-year maintenance commitment highlights its dedication to supporting Indian soldiers in tough terrains. The project integrates renewable energy sources, offering stability under adverse conditions, reducing carbon emissions, and fostering a sustainable energy ecosystem. Leveraging Ladakh's solar energy potential, this initiative eliminates reliance on fuel logistics and enhances energy self-sufficiency in remote areas. NTPC's trial run of a hydrogen bus in Leh and plans for a hydrogen fuelling station and fuel cell buses demonstrate its commitment to renewable energy targets and carbon neutrality. Through initiatives like hydrogen blending and carbon capture, NTPC aims to achieve 60GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032 and become a key player in green hydrogen technology.
