The Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) plans to launch an initiative under which consumers will have the option of cutting down electricity consumption during peak hours.

The initiative is being taken to optimise power purchase at peak hours by discoms through voluntary participation of the consumers to help bring down the power purchase cost of by the companies. The price of power goes up during peak hours. The discoms have to spend more to arrange electricity for peak hours.
The initiative was announced at a meeting DERC held with all stakeholders.
DERC officials said that consumers will be provided with a new metering system, which will facilitate two-way communication between the discom and the consumer.
DERC chairman P.D. Sudhakar said the “demand response” is a new initiative for optimising the power purchase at peak time through voluntary participation by the consumers.
