Delhi peak power demand clocked 5,464 MW, seasons’ highest and expected to touch a record high of 7500 MW in July.
A senior BSES official said that power demand recorded 5,464 MW on Tuesday which is marginally more than the peak power demand (5236 MW) recorded on May 26 last year.
Tata Power Delhi Distribution (Tata Power-DDL) successfully met the peak power demand of 1556 MW on Tuesday Night, the hottest day in 18 years without any network constraint and power outage as Delhi touched season’s high of 5464 MW amidst the ongoing heat wave.
Ganesh Srinivasan, CEO of Tata Power-DDL “We witnessed the hottest day since 2002 on Tuesday in Delhi. This has resulted in an unprecedented increase in the power demand as more and more consumers switched on their air conditioners. However, we were successful in meeting the peak demand without any constraints,” he said.
