The use of latest technologies such as artificial intelligence and long-term power purchase agreements with other states are among the steps taken by discoms to meet the national capital’s high power demand this summer, officials said on Monday.
With high temperatures projected for the season, Delhi’s peak power demand is expected to cross 8,000 MW for the first time, reaching up to 8,200 MW, according to State Load Dispatch Centre data.
The officials said the city’s previous high was 7,695 MW in 2022 and last year’s peak power demand was 7,438 MW.
