NTPC Signs PPA with Indian Army for Sale of Power

NTPC and the Indian Army signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) recently for the sale of power (200 kW RE-RTC) from a solar-hydrogen-based microgrid at Chushul (Ladakh) for a period of 25 years. The agreement was signed by Shri DMR Panda, CGM (NTPC-Hydrogen), and Shri Aditya Harshey, Brigadier and Chief Engineer (Indian Army), Leh.

Solar-Hydrogen-based microgrid offers a solution to replace the Army’s existing diesel gensets thus avoiding fossil fuel logistics arrangements and 1500 ton/year CO2.

This is the world’s most unique hydrogen-based off-grid microgrid project at an altitude of 4400 m and temperatures dipping to -30 degrees C in winter. Once operational, it would usher in a new era of decarbonization and modernization of the defense sector in the border locations of the Himalayas.
