| Ways to Make Your Home More Energy Efficient to Stop Climate Change | Peak power demand in Delhi hits season’s high of 6,780MW: Discoms | Indian Gas Exchange gets nod to trade in domestic natural gas | |||
news1Last month, the United Nations released a daunting report on the environmental crisis. They said that it is “Now or Never” to fix the problems caused by climate change. More people than ever are coming to terms with the need to fight climate change. The most recent survey from Gallup shows that 53% of Americans want to prioritize the environment over the economy, while only 42% feel the opposite. Read more... | The peak power demand in Delhi rose to 6,780MW on Thursday, the year’s highest so far and a record for May, largely due to an increase in the usage of cooling appliances in view of the higher than-normal daily temperatures, power discom officials said. The previous high for the month was 6,461MW, on May 31, 2019. This is the eighth time in the 10 days of May that the national capital’s peak power demand has crossed the 6,000MW-mark, officials Read more... | The Indian Gas Exchange (IGX), the only gas trading platform in the country, has received the much-awaited regulatory nod to trade in domestic natural gas. The domestic gas trading will be launched on May 16, the company said.
