Use electricity wisely, says government as demand still at record levels
NEW DELHI: A day after peak power demand broke all previous records and reached the projected level of 271 gigawatts (GW), the power ministry on Friday urged citizens to use electricity “wisely and judiciously”.
The ministry said the intense heatwave sweeping the country had pushed electricity demand to record levels over the last four days. “Although we are prepared to supply electricity as required, due to the intense summer, let us all try to use electricity wisely and judiciously,” the ministry said on X.
