Poor distribution, transmission ails power sector
 Distribution, transmission and realisation of revenue, and not generation of electricity, are the most critical issues facing the power sector in Delhi, according to most stakeholders, and these continue to remain unresolved.
Every year, even before the advent of long scorching summer in the national capital, most parts of the city face unscheduled power cuts. The situation worsens with the power demand peaking to unprecedented levels in the long summer months, resulting in huge outages.
This year too, power outages and cuts lasting hours were a regular feature in the city before the May 30 storm that hit the capital and threw the electricity infrastructure in a disarray. The storm exposed the health of the city power sector and the inability of all stakeholders to deal with any emergency effectively. Most of the problems facing the power sector have already been identified and continue to remain unresolved.
Significant among these are the issues relating to transparency of private discoms' operations, local distribution infrastructure, National Grid discipline and a skewed power load graph.
Power distribution utilities in the state have attributed the most of the electricity supply problems and power cuts to technical or related snags at source plants like Dadri. These, the discoms claim, are out of their control. Shifting responsibility, the power distribution utilities blame the state-run Delhi Transco for failing to maintain the transmission lines and power grids. "Distribution companies were forced to cut power supply in several areas in the city following Delhi Transco's inability to repair transmission network lines damaged in the May 30 thunderstorm," a BSES official said. Delhi Transco's overstretched transmission system had become strained as the temporary arrangements got overloaded. The thunderstorm lowered the temperature, but knocked off three main transmission lines of the DTL.
The discoms continued to resort to late night unscheduled outages in many parts of city despite claiming that they been distributing power in full capacity. The outages continued in spite of the directives from the state and Centre to cut outages and notify details to the public well in advance. Reliance-Infra backed discom BYPL again attributed the faulty transmission lines of Delhi Transco for the outages. "There is no fault on our part. The transmission lines of Delhi Transco are faulty and often get overheated, forcing us to resort unscheduled load shedding," an official said.
Observers stress that the functioning of discoms and the inability of city power regulator, Delhi Electricity Regulator Committee (DERC), to check the working of power utilities have only worsened the situation.
