Power consumption dips slightly by 1.5% to 150.04 bn units in June

Business Standard

Power consumption in the country dipped slightly by 1.5 per cent to 150.04 billion units (BU) in June, compared to the year-ago period, mainly due to reduced usage of cooling appliances amid early onset of monsoon. Power consumption was recorded at 152.37 BU in June, 2024, according to official data. Experts believe the early arrival of monsoon affected the power consumption as well as demand in June. The highest supply in a day (peak power demand met) in June also dipped to about 242.49 GW last month, from around 244.52 GW in June 2024. The peak power demand was about 231 GW. It had touched an all-time high of about 250 GW in May 2024. The previous all-time high peak power demand of 243.27 GW was recorded in September 2023. According to government estimates, peak power demand was expected to touch 277 GW in the summer of 2025. According to the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the monsoon hit the Kerala coast on May 24, 2025, eight days ahead of schedule. The widespread
