The solar-hydrogen-based microgrid will offer a solution to replace the Army’s existing diesel gensets, in turn avoiding fossil fuel logistics arrangement and saving Carbon dioxide emissions of 1500 tons per year.
NTPC signs Power Purchase Agreement with Indian Army
State-run NTPC signed a Power Purchase Agreement with the Indian Army on Monday for the sale of 200 kW RE-RTC power from a solar-hydrogen-based Microgrid at Chushul (Ladakh) for 25 years.
The agreement was signed by DMR Panda, CGM, NTPC-Hydrogen and Aditya Harshey, Brigadier and Chief Engineer (Indian Army), Leh. The solar-hydrogen-based microgrid will offer a solution to replace the Army’s existing diesel gensets, in turn avoiding fossil fuel logistics arrangement and saving Carbon dioxide emissions of 1500 tons per year.
The hydrogen-based off-grid microgrid project is located at an altitude of 4,400 m, and temperatures dip to -30 degrees C in winter, making it one of the world's most unique grids. Once operational, it would begin a new era of decarbonization and modernization of the defence sector in the border locations of the Himalayas.
