HYDERABAD: Demand for power from consumers continues to scale new heights. On Tuesday, Telangana’s discoms registered the highest peak demand of 14,794 MW on Tuesday. Just a couple of weeks ago, the peak demand was 14,649 MW.
Officials said the rise in power demand in the state was due to soaring day temperatures, agriculture power usage and also industrial electricity usage. Farmers are using the borewells in the current yasangi agricultural season and the demand is expected to touch 16,000 MW soon.
“This power demand was the highest after formation of Telangana. When the state was formed, power demand was just 7,700 MW and now it was doubled in the last seven years.
