According to the data, power usage in January 2023 was 126.30 BU, which was higher than the 111.80 BU recorded for the same month the previous year. In January 2024, the maximum supply of power in a single day, or the peak power demand, reached 222.32 GW. In January 2023, the peak power supply was 210.72 GW, while in January 2022, it was 192.18 GW.
Experts stated that power consumption as well as demand improved in January as mercury fell sharply in the month, especially in North India.
The cold wave resulted in increased use of heating equipment like heaters, blowers and geysers which led to increase of power demand as well as consumption.
