The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved Rs 20,773.7 crore to set up a transmission line for evacuating power from 13 GW renewable energy project in Ladakh.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Independence Day speech announced setting up a 7.5 GW Solar Park in Ladakh.
After an extensive field survey, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) prepared a plan to set up a 13 GW Renewable Energy (RE) generation capacity along with a 12 GWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Pang, Ladakh.
For evacuating this huge quantum of power, it will be necessary to create an inter-state transmission infrastructure, an official release said.
