New Delhi power substation operating at peak demand during evening twilight.
New Delhi, India – India’s power grid demonstrated its resilience by generating a record amount of electricity to meet surging demand, which reached an all-time high for the fourth consecutive day. On Thursday, the peak power demand touched 270.82 gigawatts, a figure successfully managed by the national grid.
The unprecedented demand is largely attributed to the widespread use of cooling appliances as the nation grapples with a severe heatwave and soaring temperatures. This event highlights the critical role of the energy sector in maintaining essential services during extreme weather conditions and underscores the growing energy needs of the Indian economy.
