The Ladakh renewable energy transmission plan has been revised from a high voltage direct current (HVDC) system to an extra high voltage alternating current (EHVAC) network due to technical challenges.
The updated project focuses on evacuating 7.5 GW of renewable energy—split evenly between 3.75 GW of solar power and 3.75 GW of battery storage (with four-hour support)—at an estimated cost of ₹31,427.54 crore. This supersedes the 2023 Union Cabinet-approved Green Energy Corridor Phase-II plan, which originally targeted 13 GW of solar and wind capacity backed by a 12 GWh battery system.
Under the revised framework, power will move from Pang via a network connecting the existing Phyang substation in Leh to a proposed substation in Sundernagar, Himachal Pradesh, integrating dual-source connectivity for Leh and tapping into hydropower grid support from the Parbati and Wangtoo stations.
