Delhi’s peak power demand between July and September was 53% higher this year in comparison with the same period in 2020 and 34% more than 2019, discom officials said.
They added that resumption of economic activities and weather had a profound impact on the power demand. Delhi’s peak power demand reached this season’s highest at 7,323 MW on July 2.
In fact, this was only the third year in Delhi’s power history that the peak power demand crossed 7,000 MW, they said.
The BSES discoms are fully geared-up and sourcing adequate electricity to meet the power demand to serve over 4.5 million consumers and 18 million residents in South, West, East and Central Delhi, including essential services such as hospitals, labs, quarantine centres, vaccination centres, said a spokesperson of the discom.
