Mumbai: The sweltering heat and humidity continued to drive Mumbaikars to consume more electricity for a second consecutive day. The city recorded an all-time high demand of 3,971 MW on Thursday.
On May 31, the power demand was at 3,968 MW. On both days, the demand for electricity surged at 3.30pm. With a power demand of around 27,000 MW, the state has purchased an average of 300-400 MW from March to May.
