Both 1 and 2.<\/p>\n<p>Ladakh is called the Solar Capital of India because it receives the highest amount of solar radiation in the country. The Zangla region of Kargil is one of the places in Ladakh where a solar plant is under construction.<\/p>\n<p>The following are some of the reasons why Ladakh is called the Solar Capital of India:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ladakh receives the highest amount of solar radiation in the country. The average annual solar radiation in Ladakh is 5,000-6,000 kWh\/m2. This is much higher than the national average of 3,000 kWh\/m2.<\/li>\n<li>Ladakh has a clear sky for most of the year. This makes it ideal for solar power generation.<\/li>\n<li>Ladakh has a low population density. This means that there is plenty of land available for solar power plants.<\/li>\n<li>Ladakh has a cold climate. This makes it ideal for solar power generation, as solar panels are more efficient in cold climates.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Zangla region of Kargil is one of the places in Ladakh where a solar plant is under construction. The solar plant is being built by the National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHPC). The plant will have a capacity of 50 MW. It is expected to be commissioned in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The construction of the solar plant in Zangla is a major step in the development of solar power in Ladakh. The plant will help to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and will also help to improve the environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Only 1&#8243; option2=&#8221;Only 2&#8243; option3=&#8221;Both 1 and 2&#8243; option4=&#8221;None of these&#8221; correct=&#8221;option3&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[982],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-77780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jammu-and-kashmir-gk-mcq","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Consider the following statements about Solar Energy in Ladakh.
