Delhi records peak power demand of 5,985 MW, season’s highest yet
Delhi on Wednesday night clocked a peak power demand of 5,985 MW, the highest in the season so far, said BSES. The rise in electricity demand was probably because of the high temperatures in the national capital, the officials said.
“Last night at 11:12 pm, Delhi’s peak power demand clocked 5985 MW, the season’s highest. It crossed the season’s previous high of 5899 MW recorded on June 16, 2020,’ said BSES.
On Wednesday, the temperature in most places in Delhi was recorded above the 40 degrees Celsius-mark.
Moreover, on Thursday, the national capital sweltered under the stifling heat with the mercury crossing the 46 degrees Celsius-mark in some parts, said Indian Meteorological Department.
