Deficient rainfall and continued use of air-conditioners amid humid conditions are pushing up domestic power consumption and electricity bills in Telangana. The State recorded a record peak demand of 19,543 MW on September 9, despite the ongoing monsoon season
Telangana's electricity demand has risen to 16,500 MW, close to peak summer levels, due to El Nino and increased borewell usage. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said the State maintained uninterrupted supply and launched an electric ambulance service for power restoration
Electricity demand in Telangana is rising rapidly as temperatures increase. The State recorded a demand of 18,139 MW on March 3, while TGSPDCL logged 11,129 MW. Officials attribute the surge to rabi crop consumption and higher household and industrial usage
In January last year, Telangana's peak power demand was 13,810 MW but on January 31 this year, it touched 15,205 MW. In the past, the peak demand of 15,000 MW was recorded in March and this year it has reached this demand much earlier
