BSES ensures uninterrupted power supply at G20 venue amid high demand

The BSES pulled out all the stops to ensure a reliable and seamless power supply at the G20 venue here amidst an already high demand in the city due to summer-like heat last month and in the first week of September, discom officials said on Tuesday.
The BSES discom enhanced the power supply at the main venue, Bharat Mandpam, at Pragati Maidan and monitored the demand in realtime from its Supervisory Control and Data Access (SCADA) control room, they said.
“In the run-up to the G20 Summit held on September 9–10, Delhi’s peak power demand was consistently high in comparison to the corresponding period last year, and the BSES made the preparations to ensure reliable power supply in the city and at the G 20 venues, including the Bharat Mandapam and the designated hotels in its areas,” an official said.
Almost the entire month of August and much of September so far have seen summer-like heat in Delhi. In fact, on September 4, 2023, Delhi recorded a maximum temperature of 40.1 degrees Celsius at Safdarjung, making it the hottest September day in the last 85 years. During August 2023, barring one day (August 27), Delhi’s peak power demand was higher on all the corresponding days than that of August 2022, they said. According to the State Load Dispatch Centre (SLDC) data, Delhi’s peak power demand clocked the season’s high of 7,438 MW on August 22, 2023.
