The summer action plan that the Delhi government has asked the private power distribution companies (discoms) to prepare, may not be a troublesome affair as the Jhajjar power plant in Haryana became operational on Saturday.
Though this project missed the Commonwealth Games deadline, the city can look forward to better power availability this summer, after the last year’s peak demand touched a record 4,800 MW. The Jhajjar power project, which has the capacity of 1,500 MW, was conceived to provide power to Delhi and Haryana in equal measure. On Saturday, the plant became operational with 500 MW and subsequently 1,000 MW would be added in a phased manner.
