Convergence Energy Services Limited (CESL), a solely owned subsidiary of Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) proclaimed it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the administration of Union Territory (UT) of Ladakh, to make it a clean and green UT.
Under the MoU, various clean energy and energy efficiency programmes would be executed, the company said.
Beginning with a pilot in the Zanskar valley area, the company would take up solar mini and
micro grid solutions, energy efficient lighting, energy storage-based solutions, efficient cooking stoves and electric mobility solutions in the UT.
“Energy access for Ladakh is foremost. We need sustainable solutions such as the decentralised energy efficient solutions that can be implemented in difficult terrains of Ladakh," R K Mathur, Lieutenant Governor of the Union Territory of Ladakh stated.
CESL would build the EV ecosystem for the UT, focusing on EV charging infrastructure which would utilize renewable sources of power, and electric vehicles (EVs) that are being tested for high altitudes. This programme would be based on innovative business models, using carbon credits.
The UT Administration would assist CESL with investment in projects, including the pilot, and would also support in business development of various clean energy and sustainability programmes of Convergence.
The Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council would offer the requisite land in respective council areas for the implementation of the clean energy projects.
