The city’s electricity consumption surged to a historic 4,114 megawatts, the highest ever recorded.
Hyderabad’s power grid recorded a peak demand of 4,114 megawatts, according to data released by INDToday. The figure surpasses previous highs and marks a new benchmark for the city’s electricity consumption.
The surge comes amid rising temperatures and increased use of air‑conditioning, industrial activity, and residential load, factors that typically drive up electricity use during the summer months.
State electricity officials said the grid is being closely monitored to ensure stability and have urged consumers to adopt energy‑saving practices.
The Telangana State Electricity Board has warned that prolonged peaks could lead to load‑shedding if supply constraints arise, and it is coordinating with power generators to balance the demand‑supply equation.
