Brightening Delhi's Future: BSES' Solar Rooftop Plan
Powering the Future: How BSES is Leading Delhi's Solar Revolution
Anil Ambani's BSES, a leading power distribution company in Delhi, is illuminating the path towards a greener future. Supplying electricity to over 50 lakh consumers and catering to a population of 2 crore across South, West, East, and Central Delhi, BSES is actively promoting rooftop solar power installations.
This commitment to environmental sustainability is yielding impressive results. BSES has already established a record-breaking 6,000 rooftop solar plants in the capital, generating a significant 160 Megawatt of clean power. With an ambitious target of adding 1,000 more connections this year, BSES is propelling Delhi towards becoming the solar capital of India.
The response to the BSES rooftop solar net metering program has been phenomenal. Residents, educational institutions, and commercial establishments have all embraced this revolutionary technology. Intriguingly, data reveals a fascinating trend. Out of the 6,000 rooftop connections, a staggering 3,650 belong to the domestic segment, showcasing a strong individual commitment to environmental responsibility. Additionally, 1087 commercial establishments, 939 educational institutions, and over 100 government housing societies have joined the movement, highlighting the widespread adoption of solar power across various sectors.
The real game-changer? Significant cost savings. By opting for rooftop solar, these 6,000 consumers are collectively saving a remarkable Rs. 110 crore annually on their electricity bills. This translates to a win-win situation for both consumers and BSES.
The BSES initiative is not just about generating clean energy; it's about empowering Delhi's residents and businesses to take control of their energy consumption and contribute to a greener future. With its ambitious goals and impressive track record, BSES is undoubtedly leading the charge in Delhi's solar revolution. As the program continues to expand, Delhi can truly claim its rightful place as the solar capital of India, fueled by a collective effort driven by responsible businesses and environmentally conscious citizens.
BSES to install 5 mn smart meters across Delhi in country's largest rollout
Reliance Infrastructure’s BSES Limited, a power distribution company (discom) in the national capital region, will install five million smart meters in its designated areas, making it the largest rollout across the country. The company has issued a tender worth Rs 4,000 crore to procure smart meters.
BSES owns and operates two discoms –- BSES Rajdhani Limited and BSES Yamuna Limited, across south, west and east Delhi. The smart meters rollout will start with high-consumption areas and consumers, said executives.
The company aims to commence the rollout by October this year and conclude it by March 2025. Currently five states have a large-scale smart meter installation programme ongoing. Uttar Pradesh has installed 1.16 million meters, Bihar 870,000, Rajasthan 550,000, Haryana 452,000 and Assam 283,000.
A smart meter has a modem (communication device) and a remote switch by which demand, supply and billing can be monitored and controlled remotely. Data from the device is collected in a cloud server. This reduces energy theft, improves billing and bill collection, and helps discoms collect data of consumer demand patterns, which in turn, can be used to plan supply.
during encore tonight, the audience sang a bit of no control, and they also sang best song ever. they started with the chorus, and continued with the second verse and then the chorus again.
it was very well coordinated and sounded great on the livestream. here's a recording of it beginning at the second verse.
