New Delhi, April 27 -- With Delhi's peak power demand expected to increase this year, power distribution companies in the Capital have drawn summer action plans to meet the anticipated surge. Delhi Power Minister Ashish Sood said that no capital investment had been made over the past 10 years to strengthen the national capital's power infrastructure. "The government has prepared a Power System Master Plan up to 2029, to be implemented by multiple agencies. Under this plan, capital investment of Rs.17,000 crore will be made over three years through Delhi Transco Limited and discoms," he said. According to State Load Dispatch Centre data, Delhi's peak power demand reached 8,442 Megawatt (MW) last year on June 12 and is likely to cross 9,000 MW this summer. The all-time peak demand was recorded at 8,656 MW on June 19 last year and is likely to cross 9,000 MW this summer. The peak power demand is usually seen in the month of June. A Bombay Suburban Electric Supply (BSES) spokesperson said peak power demand in BSES Rajdhani's south and west Delhi areas was logged at 3,798 MW in 2025 summer, and is expected to rise to around 3,997 MW this year. In BSES Yamuna's east and central Delhi areas, peak demand reached 1,824 MW in the summer of 2025, and is projected to touch around 1,991 MW this year. According to the summer plan, BSES is relying on long-term power purchase agreements, bilateral and banking arrangements with other states, and deployment of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence for accurate demand forecasting. Around 2,670 MW of green power will play a crucial role in ensuring reliable electricity supply in BSES areas....
