Makes arrangements for 5% additional buffer

arrangements to source power to meet the peak demand of its nearly 15 lakhs
consumers during the ensuing winter months. While making these arrangements,
taking a cue from the past experience and factoring in the last minute
unforeseen constraints, the company is ensuring a buffer of 3-5% over and above
the anticipated demand.
BRPL CEO Gopal Saxena mentioned that this buffer will ensure that the
company is not caught unawares, should the demand be higher than expected. The power demand this winter in

Over and above this, BRPL has also drawn a plan to bank surplus power
during the lean periods of the winter months. This power will be made available
for BRPL customers during the peak summer months. An innovative method of
banking is being adopted to reduce the burden of cost on the BRPL consumer.
Under this arrangement relatively cheaper power is procured on a round the
clock basis and a part of it is banked with an enroute state to reduce
transmission losses as well as the open access charges. Some of the details of
these arrangements are as follows:
