Three 220kV lines fixed; Full restoration soon: Delhi govt

Restoration work on three more 220kV lines has been completed after these were damaged in the May 30 storm that crippled the power supply system in the national capital.
The three lines -- Mandola-Gopalpur, Bawana-Rohini, Bamnauli-Pappan Kalan -- have been fully restored, Delhi government said in a release today, adding that the repair work on almost all damaged transmission lines was over.
Thus, the 220kV line for Maharani Bagh-Ghazipur will be restored by June 24 while the Maharani Bagh to Trauma Centre line will be restored by June 30, as per schedule.
The Dadri-Loni-Harsh Vihar Line (being executed by NTPC through PGCIL) will be restored by July 7, the statement said.

Power demand in the city was low yesterday under slightly better weather conditions. The city witnessed a peak demand of 5054MW, which is about 10 per cent lower than the peak normally witnessed during this period, the release said.
However, there were reports of power outages in some small pockets due to local faults which were promptly addressed, the state government added.
The storm that hit Delhi on May 30 knocked out power lines and subjected the city to a distressing phase of marathon outages at the peak of summer.
