Gurugram reported its highest ever peak power demand this summer on Monday when it touched 1,821 megawatt (MW) according to data available with the Dakshin Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam (DHBVN) Limited, said officials on Tuesday adding that the power demand is likely to increase further next month.
Officials from the state power utility said last year, the peak power load reported in the month of June was 1,539MW, which was recorded on June 24.
P K Chauhan, superintending engineer of Gurugram circle-II, DHBVN, said Monday’s peak power load was the highest to be recorded in Gurugram so far this year. “However, there is no shortage of power supply in Gurugram and the power cuts cannot be attributed to increasing load. Wherever power outages are taking place, it is due to local issues,” he said.
