New Solar Projects: NTPC
Why in News
Recently, National Thermal Power Corporation Limited (NTPC) Renewable Energy Ltd ( REL ) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Union Territory of Ladakh to set up the country’s first Green Hydrogen Mobility project.
§ NTPC REL will also set up a solar park at Rann of Kutch in Gujarat from where it will also generate green hydrogen on a commercial scale under the Ultra-Mega Renewable Energy Power Parks (UMREPP) scheme.
o Hydrogen produced from
renewable sources is called green hydrogen.
Ultra-Mega Renewable Energy Power Parks (UMREPP) scheme
§
It
is a scheme to develop Ultra Mega Renewable Energy Power Parks
(UMREPPs) under the existing Solar Park Scheme.
o
The
scheme was rolled out by the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy
(MNRE) in 2014.
o
Solar Park Scheme is also a scheme of MNRE to set up a
number of solar parks across various states in the country. It proposes to
provide financial support by the Government of India to establish solar parks.
§
The
objective of the UMREPP is to provide land upfront to the project
developer and facilitate transmission infrastructure for developing Renewable
Energy (RE) based Power Parks with solar/wind/hybrid and also with
storage systems.
Key Points
§ Green Hydrogen Mobility
Project:
o NTPC REL has planned
to ply 5 hydrogen buses, to start with, in the region and the
company will be setting up a solar plant and a green hydrogen
generation unit in Leh towards this end.
o This will put Leh
as the first city in the country to implement a green hydrogen based
mobility project. This would be zero emission mobility in true sense.
o This is also in
line with the Prime Minister’s vision of a ‘carbon neutral’ Ladakh.
o It will help
Ladakh develop a carbon free economy based on renewable sources and
green hydrogen.
§ India’s Largest Solar
Park:
o NTPC REL will set up
a 4.75 gigawatt (GW) renewable energy park at Rann of Kutch in
Khavada, Gujarat. This will be India’s largest solar park to
be built by the largest power producer of the country.
·
Kutch
region in Gujarat, the largest salt desert in the country and
host to two of India’s largest coal-fired power plants, will now add another
feather to its cap.
§ Other Major Projects of
NTPC:
o Recently, NTPC has also
commissioned India’s largest Floating Solar of 10 MW (ac) on
the reservoir of Simhadri Thermal Power Plant, Andhra Pradesh. An
additional 15 MW (ac) would be commissioned by August 2021.
o Further, a 100 MW Floating Solar
Project on
the reservoir of Ramagundam Thermal Power Plant, Telangana is in the advanced
stage of implementation.
§ Other Solar Energy
Initiatives:
o National Solar Mission : Solar energy has
taken a central place in India's National Action Plan on Climate Change with the National
Solar Mission as one of the key Missions.
o INDC’s target: It targets
installing 100 GW grid-connected solar power plants by the year 2022.
·
This
is in line with India’s
Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) target to achieve about
40% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel based
energy resources and to reduce the emission intensity of its GDP by 33 to 35%
from 2005 level by 2030.
o Launch of ISA: The launch of
the International
Solar Alliance (ISA) was
announced by the Prime Minister of India and the President of France in 2015,
at the 21st session of the
United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP-21) in Paris,
France.
o Government Schemes: Such as Solar Park
Scheme, Canal bank & Canal top Scheme, Bundling Scheme, Grid Connected Solar
Rooftop Scheme etc.
o One Sun One World One
Grid: India
has an ambitious cross-border power grid plan ‘One Sun One World One
Grid’ that seeks to transfer
solar power generated in one region to feed the electricity demands of others.
National Thermal Power Corporation Limited
§
NTPC
Ltd. is a central Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) under the Ministry of
Power.
o
NTPC REL is a 100% subsidiary of NTPC.
§
It
