Current affairs: Geothermal wells in Puga Valley, Ladakh for border posts
Power from beneath the Earth 🌍⚡to power Border posts in Ladakh 🇮🇳🐯 In Puga Valley in Ladakh, India has commissioned its first and deepest geothermal wells, drilled 1,000 metres underground at an altitude of over 14,000 feet. 🎯The goal? India’s first demonstration-scale > 1 MW geothermal power plant 🚋 — generating clean electricity day and night, without depending on sunlight or wind ♻️ With underground temperatures reaching around 135°C, this project could unlock a completely new source of renewable energy for remote regions like Ladakh Cold Desert 🏜️ If the pilot succeeds, the heat beneath our feet could become a powerful part of India’s clean-energy future. 🇮🇳⚡and can be used for Military instalments with 24/7 power access 💡🔌
