NTPC has partnered with the Indian Army to establish a solar hydrogen-based microgrid at Chushul, Ladakh. This step will provide a stable power supply using green hydrogen in off-grid Army locations. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh laid the foundation stone of this unique project through video conferencing today. The Power Ministry, in a statement, said that NTPC has designed this solar hydrogen-based microgrid system to operate independently, using hydrogen as an energy storage medium. This system will replace existing diesel generators at off-grid Army locations, providing a sustainable power supply despite harsh winter conditions.
