Fourth-highest energy usage record
The Ministry of Energy and Renewable Resources recorded the fourth highest peak of electricity consumption for the current year, reaching 21,727 MW during midday. This represents an increase of 77 MW compared to yesterday's peak, and approximately 349 MW more than the peak on July 13, surpassing the record set on July 12. The rise is attributed to intensive use of cooling devices like air conditioners, especially during peak hours from 1 PM to 4 PM, amid a severe heatwave and high humidity levels. This reflects a continuous increase in electricity consumption, rising at a rate of more than 30% over the past four years.
