NHPC Limited and Kerala State Electricity Board Limited (KSEB) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) under which NHPC will provide consultancy services to KSEB as its Owner’s Engineer for vetting of design of KSEB’s ongoing projects as well as of projects in the pipeline. Under the MoU, NHPC and KSEB come together for accelerated development of the hydroelectric potential of the state of Kerala, in the most techno-commercially viable manner, as an enabler towards clean energy transition. The MoU was signed by Executive Director (Strategy Business Development and Consultancy), NHPC and Director (Generation – Civil), KSEB Limited.
Earlier this month, NHPC issued a request for proposals to establish a pilot project for a green hydrogen-based mobility station in Kargil, Ladakh, to operate two hydrogen fuel cell-based buses throughout the area around the ared. In addition, the contractor would be in the position of developing a 500 kW grid-connected ground-mounted solar power project that would supply power to the station.
