Execution of six mini hydel power projects is expected to complete by the end of 2014, while work allotment for the other four has been completed after the tendering procedure. This was apprised in a review meeting by Ladakh Renewable Energy Development Agency (LREDA) project director Jigmat Takpa. The meeting was convened on Tuesday by Rigzin Spalbar, Chief Executive Councillor, Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC), Leh. The mini hydel projects, with a power generation capacity of upto 10 MW, are coming up in the remote areas of Durbuk, Nubra subdivisions and two villages of Markha valley of Leh under the Ladakh Renewal Energy Development Initiative, a project sponsored by the Union Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. The 475-crore renewable energy project was started for its implementation in Leh and Kargil districts of Ladakh region for both the civilian and defense personnel to promote renewable energy in the region. Jigmat Takpa said Rs 133 crore, under the Ladakh Renewable Energy Initiative, had been sanctioned to execute 22 mini hydel projects in rural areas of the district to convert diesel generated power to renewable energy feed power supply. He added that 90 out of 125 sanctioned solar power plants, with a power generation from 5 to 200 KV, had been completed. Spalbar stressed to start works on transmission line concurrently so that the power could be supplied with the completion of the project. He also urged the LREDA to train operator of the solar power plant to enhance the durability and efficiency of the project.
