Ladakh Installs 500 kWp Solar Plant at Leh Ice Hockey Rink

The Union Territory of Ladakh is integrating renewable energy into its public infrastructure by installing a 500 kWp on-grid solar photovoltaic plant atop the NDS Ice Hockey Rink in Leh. The project, costing approximately Rs 2.38 crore, aims to reduce the facility's carbon footprint and operational electricity costs. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to transition Ladakh toward becoming a carbon-neutral region. By leveraging the high solar irradiance of the Himalayan plateau, the administration intends to create a sustainable model for other public buildings and sporting venues across the territory.
