Power Demand Hits 5-Year High Amid Reduced Rains

In a noteworthy development, power demand in India reached a five-year high during the month of September. This surge in electricity consumption can be attributed to a significant reduction in rainfall across the country, affecting hydropower generation.

The energy sector experienced a substantial uptick as people relied more on conventional power sources to meet their electricity needs.

The decline in rainfall has led to a decrease in water levels in reservoirs, impacting hydropower generation, which is a vital source of renewable energy in India. Consequently, thermal power plants have played a pivotal role in meeting the increased electricity demand during this period.

This surge in power demand highlights the importance of maintaining a diverse energy mix and the need for investing in infrastructure to ensure a consistent power supply, particularly during adverse weather conditions.
