Delhi’s peak power demand reached a seasonal high of 5,268 MW on Sunday night amidst a heat wave. For the last two months, the closing down of commercial and industrial establishments besides offices had led a sharp decline in the overall power demand.
With relaxations in lockdown there are signs of revival of activities and the peak power demand in Delhi is expected to touch the last year’s peak of 7,409 MW by July 2020, a Tata Power Delhi Distribution (TPDDL) statement said.
On Sunday night, TPDDL had successfully met the peak power demand of 1,493 MW without any network constraint and power outage, the statement said.
As per India Meteorological Department (IMD), Delhi will witness a severe heat wave over the next few days and the temperature will continue to soar in the range of 45-47 degrees.
