Delhi Cut Electricity Loss from 50 to 5 Percent
The Indian city of Delhi has made significant progress in reducing electricity losses, cutting them from 50% to 5% in just a few years. The city's electricity distribution company, BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) and BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL), implemented various measures to achieve this reduction. These measures include the replacement of aging infrastructure, the use of smart meters, and the implementation of a system to detect and prevent power theft. As a result, the city's electricity losses have decreased from 50% to 5%, resulting in significant financial savings for the company and the government. This achievement has been recognized by the Ministry of Power, which has awarded BYPL and BRPL for their efforts.
