Ladakh’s power scenario changed for better in a short span of time: Lt Governor RK Mathur

LEH: The power scenario of Ladakh has changed for better in a short span of time, Lt Governor RK Mathur said on Wednesday, asserting that with solar, hydrogen and geothermal projects in the pipeline, the sector has great potential for changing the face of the union territory.

Mathur said that many new areas have been electrified and power consumption in the last one year has grown by more than 10 per cent, while reiterating the need for time-bound removal of all diesel generator sets to achieve carbon neutrality in the region.
