NTPC, in partnership with the Indian Army, is embarking on a groundbreaking initiative to establish a Solar Hydrogen-based Microgrid in Chushul, Ladakh. This innovative project is designed to offer a consistent and eco-friendly power supply by leveraging green hydrogen technology, thereby replacing traditional diesel generators. With the capacity to provide 200kW of power throughout the year, the microgrid represents a significant step towards sustainability and self-sufficiency in challenging terrains. By utilizing hydrogen as an energy storage medium, the system can operate independently and ensure stable power despite extreme winter conditions, characteristic of the high-altitude region. The unique combination of Ladakh's high solar irradiance and low temperatures makes it an ideal setting for harnessing green energy and minimizing reliance on fuel logistics. NTPC's commitment to maintaining the project for 25 years underscores its dedication to long-term sustainability and environmental responsibility. Moreover, the initiative extends beyond Chushul, with NTPC spearheading additional endeavors in Ladakh, such as introducing hydrogen buses for sustainable transport and establishing a hydrogen fuelling station and solar plant in Leh. NTPC's holistic approach to decarbonisation encompasses various green initiatives, including hydrogen blending, carbon capture, and the deployment of electric buses. With a target of achieving 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032, NTPC is poised to play a pivotal role in driving India's transition towards a greener and more sustainable energy landscape.
