Haryana rubs it in: records all-time high power load, minister says no shutdown
At a time when Punjab is battling an unprecedented power crisis, the neighbouring Haryana hit an all time high single-day energy consumption.
Power Minister Ranjit Singh Chautala said Haryana recorded power consumption of 2,576.88 LU (lakh unit) on July 1 and registered a load of 11,732MW, which was successfully handled by the state powerutilities.
“Haryana recorded the highest power consumption and maximum power load on July 1, since formation of the State (in 1966). It is a historic day for the state in the power sector as this requirement has been met by the power utilities of the state,” he added.
