A hybrid renewable energy (RE) park of total 13 GW capacity is envisaged across Pang, Debring and Kharnak areas of the union territory of Ladakh. The park will comprise solar, wind and battery energy storage system, said minister of state for new & renewable energy and power Shripad Yesso Naik in the parliament recently.
The minister added that as of now, no companies have been selected for setting up renewable power projects in this RE park.
Further, Solar Energy Corp. of India Ltd (SECI) is implementing a 25 MW AC (50 MW DC) grid-connected solar PV power project with 40 MWh battery storage at Taru, Leh, in Ladakh. The EPC contract for this project has been awarded to Prozeal Green Energy.
The ministry is implementing interstate transmission system in the green energy corridor (GEC-II) for evacuation of 13 GW RE projects in Ladakh.
Power Grid Corp. of India Ltd (POWERGRID) is the implementing agency for this project. The transmission line for evacuating the power will pass through Himachal Pradesh and Punjab up to Kaithal in Haryana, where it will be integrated with the national grid.
