LUCKNOW The peak power demand in Uttar Pradesh may surge to 31,917 mw in 2024-25, which will be close to Maharashtra’s 32,640 mw – the highest in the country, according to a state-wise electricity demand forecast made recently by the Central Electricity Authority of India (CEA).
This comes as an alert to the UP Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) that is already grappling with issues related to smooth power supply in the state primarily due to inadequate infrastructure.
UP, according to the forecast, is expected to experience the highest demand in September 2024.
