The Union Territory of Ladakh on Saturday signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Convergence Energy Services Ltd for setting up of 5-MW Solar Power Plant at Zanskar in Kargil, an official spokesman said.
The signing ceremony coinciding with World Environment Day was held digitally between Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), Kargil and CESL in the presence of Lt Governor R K Mathur, the spokesman said.
Addressing the event, Mathur said this is the first of many such projects in Ladakh’s endeavour to achieve Carbon Neutrality and thanked CESL for taking up the challenge of working in the harsh terrain of Zanskar.
He said the CESL’s objectives and profile match the needs of Ladakh viz decentralized-efficient energy generation, rural solutions and innovative financing models.
