Power minister Harbhajan Singh ETO on Sunday said Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) supplied record 34.27 lakh units of power on September 9 as the power demand during the entire day was around 14,400 MW.
Giving information here, the minister said before monsoon this year, the highest power supply on June 23 was 34.25 lakh units. He said due to 63% less rainfall during August and negligible rainfall in September so far, the demand for electricity has increased significantly, especially in agriculture, domestic and commercial consumer categories.
He clarified that power is being supplied to all categories of consumers in the state without any cut due to the arrangements made by the state government.
