We have made surplus arrangement of up to 200 MW power over and above the expected peak demand and it will also cater to contingencies. Besides this, we are also using a mix of smart technologies like AI & Machine Learning for better load forecasting to provide reliable power supply,” said Mr. Ganesh Srinivasan, CEO, Tata Power-DDL.
The company expects the peak demand may touch 1700 MW this winter season. Tata Power-DDL is prepared with its action plan to provide relief, assuring 24X7 power supply to all the essential services and its consumers.
The power-supply arrangements during the winter-months by the company include long-term agreements from power-plants like Maithon Power, NTPC Stations, and Delhi based gas fuelled generating stations. A total of 2000 MW power is available from long-term sources with the company which would help to meet the anticipated demand.
