Due to record-breaking high temperatures and severe heatwaves in many regions across the country, power demand peaked consecutively for the fourth time in May.

The demand trends in the month have already exceeded last summer’s peak of 243 Gw in June. In May last year, the peak reached was 231 Gw. Thursday’s peak surpassed the all-time high of 265 Gw which also occurred in solar hours the day before.
