Delhi’s peak winter power demand touched an all time high of 5,343 MW on New Year’s Day. Heating load (heaters and geysers) is the main reason behind the increase in city’s power load in winter as it constitutes more than 40 per cent of the total power demand, a senior BSES official said.
Delhi’s peak power demand continues its upwards climb, be it summers or winter. After clocking an all-time high of 7,409 MW during summers of 2019, it continues to break records in winters also, touching 5,343 MW which is highest ever in the winter season so far.
Last year, highest peak power demand in winter was recorded 5,298 MW on December 30, 2019. In fact, on January 1, 2020 the peak power demand in BRPL, BYPL and TPDDL also reached the highest of 2,256 MW, 1,148 MW and 1,656 MW respectively.
