Amid sweltering heat, Delhi sees season's highest peak power demand at 8,423 MW
Delhi saw its highest peak power demand of this summer season on Thursday as the maximum temperature settled at 43.9 degrees Celsius. According to the State Load Despatch Centre (SLDC), the apex body to ensure integrated operation of the power system, the peak power demand in the Capital clocked 8,423 MW at 3:06 pm on Thursday. This is the highest-ever load in the city in 2025, said officials. On Wednesday night, the city had clocked 8,231 MW. This is the first time Delhi's peak power demand has crossed 8,000 MW this year. Last year, the city had clocked the highest-ever peak demand on June 25 at 8,647 MW. Delhi has been reeling under intense heat this week. The India Meteorological Department on Wednesday sounded a red alert for heatwave conditions. On preparation to tackle the increase in power load, an official said, 'During the year, BSES discoms have strengthened the network and undertaken several unique measures to ensure a reliable power supply during the summer months. Apart from preventive maintenance, BSES has also done extensive predictive checks to identify hot spots or to pre-determine potential faults and to take remedial measures. An online load monitoring system is also in place to track the power transformers, especially during the summer.' Over 2,100 MW of green power is set to play an important role in ensuring reliable power during summer, the official added. 'This includes around 888 MW of solar power from SECI (Solar Energy Corporation of India), 500 MW of wind power, and 40 MW from Waste-to-Energy. BSES's efforts to ensure reliable power are also being helped by 160 MW+ rooftop solar panels installed on rooftops in South, West, East, and Central Delhi,' the official said. Here are some energy-saving tips: > Operate the air-conditioner at 24 °C for comfortable and cost-effective cooling. > Keep dthe oors of air-conditioned rooms closed as much as possible > Clean your AC filter every month for efficient functioning. > Use ceiling fans alongside the AC to circulate air and reduce the AC workload. > Line windows and walls with plants and curtains to block sunlight and insulate the room from heat. > Turn off the AC when leaving the room or house for extended periods to reduce energy consumption
