Keralam power crisis: Electricity consumption soars in September
Kerala is facing a power shortage as September’s electricity demand surged to an average of 93.6 million units, a level not seen during the typical June‑September southwest monsoon period. The state, accustomed to cooler temperatures and lower consumption in these months, is grappling with higher usage that threatens its energy supply. Officials warn the spike could strain the grid and require measures to maintain reliability.
