Delhi PWD Minister Kailash Gahlot on Monday chaired a series of separate meetings with the Public Works Department (PWD) and reviewed the 'Summer Action Plan' with the DISCOMS and the Power department. Senior officers from Bombay Suburban Electric Supply (BSES) Rajdhani Power Ltd (BRPL) and Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL), TATA Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL), Delhi Transco Limited (DTL) and Power Department were part of the meeting.
During the meeting, DTL highlighted the peak load of 7695 MW reached in Delhi in June 2022 while the expected peak load of 2023 is nearly 8000 MW to occur in late June or early July 2023.
