Delhi's peak load surges to 7,401 MW — AI, green power keep the grid stable
New Delhi: Delhi's peak power demand touched 7,401 MW at 3:11 pm on Tuesday, the highest recorded so far this season, according to the State Load Dispatch Centre (SLDC). On Monday, the capital's peak power demand was 7,265 MW. BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd (BRPL) and BSES Yamuna Power Ltd (BYPL) successfully met peak demands of 3,285 MW and 1,559 MW respectively in their areas. Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd (Tata Power-DDL) met a peak demand of 2,178 MW, the highest for the season so far. In BRPL's areas of South and West Delhi, the peak power demand during summer 2024 stood at 3,809 MW and is projected to reach around 4,050 MW in summer 2025. In BYPL's jurisdiction of East and Central Delhi, the peak power demand reached 1,882 MW last summer and is expected to touch around 1,900 MW this year. BSES discoms, which supply electricity to over 50 lakh consumers across South, West, East, and Central Delhi, said they have tied up long-term power purchase agreements and banking arrangements with other states to meet the rising power demand. Advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) models have been deployed to enhance demand forecasting accuracy. More than 2,100 MW of green power is expected to support power supply in BSES areas during the peak summer months. According to the discoms, the network has been strengthened through preventive and predictive maintenance. Measures include thermal scanning, partial discharge measurements, and transformer health assessments. Online load monitoring systems are in place to track power transformer and 11 kV feeder load conditions.

Delhi residents oppose hike in surcharge
NEW DELHI: Residents in Delhi are bracing for a steep hike in their electricity bills during the summer peak months of May–June, following a revision in the Power Purchase Adjustment Cost (PPAC). The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) has approved a 7–10% increase, applicable to the capital's three major power distribution companies—BRPL, BYPL, and TPDDL—to recover PPAC for Q3 of the 2024–25 financial year. As per DERC's latest order, BRPL will charge 7.25%, BYPL 8.11%, and TPDDL 10.47%—a disparity that Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) are questioning. The United Residents of Delhi (URD), an umbrella body of RWAs, alleged that the DERC panel did not follow proper procedure. 'We had great hope from the Commission that it will complete the work of tariff determination by following the prescribed procedure, but this Commission conducted a virtual public hearing where not enough time was given to the stakeholders to state their case,' said URD General Secretary Saurabh Gandhi. 'The process under which PPAC charges have been imposed on the people of Delhi by DERC is legally wrong,' he added.

Power consumers face tariff jolt in Delhi As PPAC sees a steep hike
NEW DELHI: Residents of Delhi will soon face higher electricity bills following a significant hike in the Power Purchase Adjustment Charges (PPAC). According to discom officials, the PPAC between May 1 and May 8 stood at 6.29% in BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) areas and 5.22% in BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) zones. These rates have now increased to 13.54% and 13.33%, respectively, effective from May 9 until Aug 8. Delhi's electricity is supplied by four distribution companies: BRPL, BYPL, Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) and New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC). The hike in PPAC varies across these discoms. Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) has approved revised PPAC rates for the next two to three months: 13.33% for BYPL, 13.54% for BRPL, and 19.22% for TPDDL. PPAC is a surcharge levied as a percentage of the base tariff, which includes fixed charges and consumption-based energy charges. It is meant to offset fluctuations in power purchase costs due to variable coal and fuel prices. However, officials confirmed that consumers receiving subsidies for using up to 200 units of electricity per month will not be impacted by this hike. Delhi has approximately 6.5 million domestic electricity consumers. During winter months (Jan to April), about 60% of these households consume less than 200 units and, therefore, receive electricity free of charge. Neither Delhi govt nor the discoms have officially responded to the PPAC hike. Delhi BJP, however, criticised the increase, particularly in the run-up to elections, holding multiple protests demanding a rollback of the surcharge. Saurabh Gandhi, general secretary of United Residents of Delhi (URD), voiced concern over the transparency of the PPAC process. "The process under which PPAC charges have been imposed is not transparent," he said. "We are also trying to approach the Delhi government for intervention that may provide relief to the public." Gandhi also criticised the tariff fixation commission, stating it failed in its responsibilities: "This is not acceptable in the public interest." A source in the power department noted that under the ministry of power's 2021 guidelines, state regulatory commissions are required to establish a mechanism for the automatic pass-through of fuel and power procurement costs. "In Delhi, PPAC is not passed through automatically. Discoms can only levy it after DERC verification and approval," the source said. The source further clarified that DERC, in its recent orders, did not allow discoms to recover "other charges," such as cess, taxes, water fees, and backdown charges paid to power generators.
