Power demand down 22 pc at 127.96 GW
NEW DELHI: Peak power demand in the country declined by around 22 per cent to 127.96 GW on Wednesday compared to 163.72 GW on March 20, showing the impact of lockdown amid COVID-19 outbreak.
In actual terms, the power demand has come down by about 35 GW on Wednesday in a week’s time.
The peak demand met was down mainly due to lower industry and state power distribution utilities demand across the county as industrial and commercial establishments are completely shut under the lockdown.
