New Delhi: The peak power demand of Delhi is fast catching up with pre-COVID levels as an increasing number of economic activities are being allowed under the Centre’s ‘Unlock’ process, discom officials said.

In September this year, the peak power demand was just 5.9 per cent lower as compared to the corresponding month last year.

“In April, during the height of COVID-19-induced lockdown, there was a gap of around 40 per cent in comparison to the peak power demand of 2019.

“The gap reduced to just about 5.9 in September. The peak power demand in September 2019 was 6,626 MW, while it was 6,231 MW this year,” discom officials said.

Moreover, ever since the restrictions were eased on May 18, Delhi’s peak power demand has increased by over 50 per cent. Compare the peak power demand since April 2020, it has increased by over 87 per cent, they said.

This year, due to the lockdown and weather conditions, the peak power demand recorded has been muted (6,314 MW on June 29, 2020).

Delhi’s all-time high peak power demand was recorded on July 2, 2019, when it clocked 7,409 MW.

During the height of lockdown, there was a sharp reduction in the power demand during the day due to closure of commercial and industrial establishments.

However, there was no impact on Delhi’s domestic load, which is around 75 per cent of the total power load of the city.

Infact, there was a slight increase in this category, they said.

“After the end of the lockdown 3.0 on May 17 and easing of restrictions, Delhi’s peak power has started increasing and the gap has narrowed.

Though Delhi’s peak power demand in September 2020 was 6,231 MW as compared to 6,626 MW last year, this year, it surpassed the corresponding peak power demand of last year on 14 days by up to 28 per cent,” discom officials said.

Earlier, in July and August this year, Delhi’s peak power demand surpassed last year’s peak power demand on corresponding days on 13 occasions – 7 days in July and 6 days in August, they added.

In the wake of Coronavirus pandemic, the nation-wide lockdown has extended yet again, albeit with few relaxations in certain regions. It has been quite a task to acclamatise to the new ways. With movements restricted and lack of interaction with the outer world, we are spending more time with ourselves and it is a perfect time to actualise goals you had set for yourself long back. If weight loss was one of them, you have arrived at the right place.

Snacking is an essential component of a sustainable weight loss diet. According to experts, it is ideal to divide our daily meals into several small meals, and keep our snack options healthy and light. If there are packets of chips and namkeens lying around, it is natural for you to tend towards them, but since your physical activity level is minimal – you should perhaps think more about restricting those unwanted calories.

If you are having a tough time cutting back on a few calories, here are some ideas that would fill you up, sans unnecessary addition to calorie load. What if we tell you that all these snacks are under 100 calories?

Here Are 5 Lockdown Snacks In Under 100 Calories That You Can Try At Home for Weight Loss:

1. Kacchi Kairi or Kacche Aam With Masala

It is the season of mangoes, and we just love the fruit in all its avatar – be it raw or ripe. Kacchi Kairi or kacche aam happens to be a favourite of celebrities like Kareena Kapoor Khan and Deepika Padukone too!

So the next time you get hit by cravings, just cut 4-6 thin slices of raw mango and enjoy it with a sprinkle of chaat or goda masala.

2. Yogurt With Fruits And Seeds

A small bowl of yogurt with a mix of berries and seeds (chia, flax, pumpkin) also makes for a wholesome snack that you can down without the guilt of calorie load.

3. Carrot And Hummus

This low-carb, low-cal snack is ideal for those planning to shed a few pounds. Carrots are high in fibre that helps aid digestion and weight loss. Hummus is a super simple Mediterranean dip made out of high-protein chickpeas. Three baby carrots with about two tablespoon of hummus could make for a filling snack for you.

4. One Cup Of Strawberries

Did you know that a 100 gram serving of strawberries comprises only 32 calories?! Go chow down a cup of strawberries today, that too guilt-free.

5. One Hard-Boiled Egg

One hard-boiled egg with yolk also contains less than 100 calories, so there is no real need to toss away the yolk, unless you have been advised to by your trainer or nutritionist. Enjoy the egg with a sprinkle of black pepper for a more flavourful experience.
