Sisodia: Delhi to raise power generation capacity by 6,000MW

14 Feb 2023 CW Team

He stated that the municipal government is putting forth war-like effort to use renewable energy to meet Delhi's electrical requirement.

In June 2022, Delhi experienced its greatest electricity demand, which was 7,695 MW. Officials stated in the conference that the electricity discoms now have tie-ups for a total of 8,471 MW, of which 33% (or around 2,826 MW) is generated by renewable sources.

According to them, the main renewable energy sources that provide about 2,000 MW of Delhi's power supply are solar and wind energy.

A generation-based incentive (GBI) of Rs 2-3 per unit of power for residential customers and Re 1 for commercial customers is proposed in the Delhi government's new solar policy, which will incentivize residents of Delhi to install solar panels on their rooftops. A subsidy of Rs 2,000 per kilowatt per consumer, up to a maximum of Rs 10,000, is also included in the scheme.

The new solar policy, which aims to develop an additional 500 MW of rooftop solar plants in Delhi over the next three years, also suggests that all government buildings with a rooftop space of 500 square metres or more be solarized.

The discoms are in discussion with various organisations regarding a 3,000 MW extra supply of renewable energy. Delhi would receive 1,100 MW more of electricity from renewable sources after the Solar Energy Corporation's (SECI) 1,000 MW solar facility and 111 MW wind power plant are put into service, according to the officials.

In addition, they said that construction is already under way on a number of renewable energy producing projects totaling 2,100 MW that should be finished soon. According to the statement, all of these actions will result in a 6,000 MW increase in the capacity of sustainable electricity generation during the following three years.

The Delhi government entered power purchase agreements with a number of businesses in 2018. and afterwards to fulfil the city's rising electricity demand, it noted.

According to Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Thursday, the Delhi administration would boost the city's capacity for power generation by 6,000 MW over the course of the next three years using renewable energy sources.
