Peak electricity demand has for the first time crossed 6,000 megawatts (MW) in Kerala as increased dependence on air conditioners to beat the scorching summer temperatures continues to push up evening demand.
The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) recorded 6,012 MW on April 14, resetting the record of 5,933 MW set just the previous day. The KSEB will hold a review meeting on the State’s power position on Friday, according to the Power department.
