6. Reasons for Shortages / Gap
1.Low Wind Energy Generation : means no ‘reserve’ available
2. Unforeseen shut downs of thermal generating units at RTPS (Raichur) : 150 MW
3.10 % Unforeseen shutdowns in CGS (Central Generating Station) share to the state : 150 MW
Total Shortage of Load Expected : 300 MW

7. How BESCOM will close the GAP ?
1. Strict measures to stop illegal conversion of Single Phase to 3 Phase
by IP Set owners and excess consumption [Open Delta] : 210 MW
2. Vigilance Activities : 30 MW
3. Shifting of Peak Load : 60 MW ( From 6 PM to 9 PM to beyond 9 PM)

8. Open Delta System
1. Open Delta System is a scheme which avoids illegal use of power
supply to IP Sets. Thus there won’t be overloads or excess drawl
from the network.
2. Effective Implementation saves 210 MW

10. Vigilance Activities : 60 MW
1. Strengthening of BESCOM Vigilance network by providing 30 additional vehicles & staff . 2. Extra Vigilance during peak hours and at night : to have check on illegal welding, lights, theft etc., 3. Both Special Vigilance Team & BESCOM Officers will be on strict vigil. Expected to do : 1500 inspections / Everyday.

loads like Water pumps, Geysers etc., from peak to non- peak
hours ( after 10 PM)
