THE state recorded its highest-ever peak power demand of 15,752 MW at 7:45 am on Wednesday.

The power utilities met the demand without imposing power cuts on any category of consumers by purchasing the required electricity.

According to officials, the reasons behind the early morning peak demand were agriculture needs in rural areas and use of geysers in urban areas. They, however, noted that they were purchasing power at lower prices and saving the government's money.

"The previous highest demand of 15,623 MW was met on March 8, 2024. In the last 14 months, all measures have been taken by the government to ensure sustained and reliable supply of quality power to all categories of consumers, including agriculture, industry and domestic," said Transco chairman and managing director Krishna Bhaskar.
