Power situation normalises with 250 MW supply from MP, Haryana

New Delhi, July 26 (UNI) After the power crisis of the last two days, the power situation in Delhi was back to normal today with the rain gods showering their bounty on Delhi and 250 MW of additional power becoming available from Haryana and Madhya Pradesh.

The discoms were able to successfully meet the 3200 MW power demand in the the capital today and did not have to resort to any loadshedding.

125 MW power from MP was added today to Delhi supply.

Madhya Pradesh would be able to supply 150 MW power from tomorrow. Apart from this, around 100 to 150 MW power from Haryana would be added to Delhi supply from tomorrow, hence providing Delhi with 250 MW of power.

Power situation in Delhi has been grim for the last two days. In fact, rotational loadshedding of around 600 MW was effected yesterday due to drastic cut in power supply for Delhi as the Naptha-Jhakri Power Plant was closed since Monday morning due to high silt level resulting in non-availability of 300 MW power.

Consequently, the discoms could meet only a power demand of 3162 MW.

Further worsening the situation, Delhi was also not getting 190 MW power from Himachal Pradesh. Apart from this, HVDC link between the East and North was disrupted, causing loss of power around 80 MW to Delhi.
