Power situation improves, peak power demand met

Tuesday, July 18, 2006, 20:04 [IST]

New Delhi, July 18 (UNI) With Delhi recieving heavy rains after a gap of nearly a week, the power situation in the capital somewhat eased today with the supply of power meeting the demand.

Official sources said that the Delhi Government was able to fully meet the 3500 MW power demand during the peak time.

What also helped ease the power situation was the fact that Delhi was able to get 50 MW power from Orissa, another 50 MW from Karnataka and additional 30 MW from Himachal Pradesh today.

However, the discoms had to resort to rotational loadshedding of around 200 MW for two to three hours in a few localities to maintain the grid discipline.

The Northern Grid has been experiencing frequency problems due to the generation falling far short of the demand.
