After Vijay-led TVK government came to power, Chennai witnessed a lot of protests from citizens over the power cut. A prolonged spell of above-normal temperatures pushed the state’s electricity demand to new levels in the summer.
In July, Tamil Nadu recorded an all-time high peak power demand of 21,724 MW on July 14, DT Next reported citing official data. The daily energy consumption reached a record 475.447 million units (MU) on July 17.
The southern state’s monthly electricity consumption increased 11.5 per cent year-on-year to 13,807 MU in July, compared with 12,382 MU in the same month last year.
