Despite a steady power supply, the State recorded lower electricity consumption in 2025 due to brief rain spells and reduced usage by the ferro alloys sector, a senior energy department official said.

In April 2024, APTRANSCO reported an average daily consumption of 248 million units (MU), sufficient to power households, agriculture, and industries statewide. The highest usage was 248 MU from April 5 to April 30, while the lowest was 239 MU on April 1. Peak demand averaged 12,974 megawatts (MW), maintaining a steady 12,994 MW for most of the month.
