Ladakh is the lone region that has potential of generating 12000 MWs of solar energy and it has been also identified that 86900 kilometers of land is receiving sunshine in the area. The radiation level in Ladakh is 6 to 7 kWh/m /day which is the best in the country and the photovoltaic technology in which light energy is converted into electricity is best suited for harnessing solar energy in Ladakh region. The information was provided in a meeting about the generation potential of solar power in Ladakh and Jammu regions.
Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah, who was presiding over the meeting held on Wednesday said that harnessing of green energy has been given considerable fillip by his government and generation of solar, thermal and wind power is receiving due attention alongwith launch of hydro electric projects in the state.
Omar Abdullah said that the interest of investors in the sector of New and Renewable Energy (N&RE) is highly encouraging and it will get further boost by the J&K State Solar Power Policy which is in offing.
As per a statement Omar said that while the State Power Development Corporation is working on execution of medium and mega hydro electric projects, the Department of Science and Technology is looking after implementation of micro power projects including those in N&RE sector.
“The target before the government is to transform Jammu and Kashmir from energy deficit state to power sufficient one within next 7 to 10 years”, he said adding that projects under Joint Venture, IPP and PPP mode already approved by the government would catapult the indigenous production of hydro power in the state.
Omar Abdullah said that the potential of solar, thermal and wind energy generation has been identified to a greater extent and its harnessing has been put on focus by the government. He said various schemes have been approved with the assistance of Union Ministry for N&RE and many are in the pipeline.
The meeting also discussed launching of solar power projects in the feasible areas of Jammu region and implementing hydro electric schemes in Kashmir and Chenab Valley areas.
When you are serious about your move to solar energy and begin using panels that sink more than 6 watts, invest in a solar controller. These small controls help maximize the efficiency of the charge cycle and prevent any wasted overcharging from occurring. When there is a lot of energy at stake, these are a must have for your solar-home.-
