NTPC has embarked on a significant endeavour to support the nation’s sustainable energy goals with the signing of a Land Lease Agreement with Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC). This collaboration paves the way for the development of an ‘Integrated Green Hydrogen Hub’ spread across 1,200 acres near the picturesque Pudimadaka village of Atchutapuram Mandal, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
The Pudimadaka Green Hydrogen Hub project aims to foster a state-of-the-art environment for cutting-edge technologies in the renewable energy spectrum, especially in electrolyser and fuel cell manufacturing, allied industries, incubation centres for start-ups, comprehensive testing facilities, and the production and export of green hydrogen and its by-products like green ammonia and green methanol. Central to this initiative is the construction of India’s largest green hydrogen production facility with a capacity of 1,200 TPD, earmarked for conversion into derivatives catering primarily to export markets.
NTPC, as India’s largest Power Utility, is committed to expanding its renewable energy portfolio and has established a fully-owned subsidiary, NTPC Green Energy Limited (NGEL), to spearhead Renewable Energy Parks and Projects. The subsidiary will also venture into sectors like Green Hydrogen, Energy Storage Technologies, and Round the Clock Renewable Energy Power. The NTPC Group aspires to achieve 60 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2032, currently boasting 3.4 GW of installed RE capacity with an additional 22 GW plus in the pipeline.
With its vision aligned with Andhra Pradesh and India’s decarbonisation goals, NTPC is leading the charge towards a greener and more sustainable future, as demonstrated by the monumental strides in clean energy infrastructure and the landmark collaboration with APIIC.
