Mumbai, 3rd April, 2024
Tata Power, with over 7.5 lakh consumers in Mumbai is all-set to
manage the increasing demand for power in the summer season and has taken extensive
measures across its Generation, Transmission and Distribution verticals to ensure uninterrupted
power supply to the city. Having deployed cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning
tools to monitor and forecast demand, the company expects the demand for Apr-June-24 to be
peak at 1,030 MW from its consumer base in Mumbai.
Tata Power Mumbai Distribution has informed all its contracted generating units to keep full
availability during this period. On-ground transmission & distribution service team has been given
detailed work instructions, checklists, video tutorial training and schematics to ensure that they
are fully equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary for maintaining the efficiency and
reliability of the power network. The company has enhanced the distribution service by quick
restoration of power through adoption of cutting-edge Auto Transfer Schemes (ATS), LoRa IoT
solutions, and Feeder Remote Terminal Units (FRTU) in its Distribution Substations (DSS) and
Customer Service Stations (CSS). It is also monitoring the network through thermal scanning of
transformers, feeder pillars, and cables. Additionally, the analysis of CCTV footage, along with
housekeeping and intruder alerts, is ensuring a secure and safe workplace.
All of the company's dedicated call centers and 10 customer care centers have been prepped to
handle consumers’ queries relating to billing and consumption during the season. With
participation from more than 2.3 lakh customers, in the weeks leading up to this summer, the
company held 9 Behavioural Demand Response (BDR) programme in Mumbai for better
preparedness to anticipate possible challenges and expects to hold 4-5 more such programme in
the coming weeks.
Apart from providing up to 50% discount on new energy efficient devices, an appliance exchange
programme is also being carried out to promote energy efficiency which includes energy efficient
ceiling fans, air-conditioners, LED tube lights and refrigerators for residential customers. Similar
offers are also available to its commercial and industrial consumers including conducting energy
audit for efficient demand side management this summer.
In terms of generation, the company has completed preventive maintenance on its thermal and
hydroelectric plants and have ensured that no significant outages are planned during this
timeframe.
Recently, Tata Power collaborated with the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM)
under the demand flexibility programme for power optimisation by shifting water pumping load
from peak and non-solar hours to non-peak and solar.
