Tamil Nadu’s power consumption dips after spells of rainfall
The power consumption of Tamil Nadu witnessed a significant drop after heavy rainfall lashed most parts of southern and western Tamil Nadu last week.
During the summer months, the daily consumption peaks to an average of 36 crore units. The power consumption that peaked to 37.27 crores units on April 9 turned out to be a record high. The lockdown announced in Tamil Nadu on May 10 significantly brought down the industrial power consumption as the commercial establishments, including big malls, remained shut.
The domestic power consumption at houses went down to 25 crore units during the first phase of the lockdown.
