As the monsoon season approaches, Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (Tata Power-DDL) is all set with the preventive measures to ensure the safety and well-being of its customers and reduce the chances of electricity related incidents. In line with this commitment towards safety, Tata Power-DDL is conducting an extensive safety drive including inspections and maintenance activities to handle the challenges posed by the upcoming rainy season.
As a part of the pre-monsoon safety drive the discom is conducting inspections and maintenance of electrical equipment and lines installed in public areas. Leakage testing of 1,73,109 Poles, 1734 PWD/MCD Poles, 492 ATMs, and 1549 streetlight poles installed in MCD/DDA parks have been conducted. Proper maintenance of the earthing of electrical installations is being done to ensure their effectiveness.
Heavy rainfall brings an array of challenges, such as waterlogging, strong winds, and lightning, all of which can adversely affect the power infrastructure. Understanding these challenges, Tata Power-DDL has intensified its efforts and has taken proactive measures to spread awareness about electrical safety among consumers to mitigate risks while ensuring public safety.
To maximize the impact and as a part of the monsoon preparedness, Tata Power-DDL is conducting regular visits to check on meters in public installations like hospitals, malls, schools and colleges to ensure a seamless supply of power in the coming months. Apart from this, adequate vegetation management activities are being taken so that there is no chance of trees falling on electrical installation leading to disruption of the power supply.
Commenting upon the monsoon strategy, Rajesh Bahl Chief – Operations & Safety said, “Our extensive safety measures are designed to address these challenges head-on, ensuring that our consumers receive uninterrupted power supply and remain safe during the rains.
