Keralam power crisis: daily consumption touches 99 million units on two consecutive days
Kerala faced a severe power shortfall as daily electricity use reached 99 million units for two straight days. On September 18, roughly 80 percent of the state's demand was satisfied by importing power from neighboring regions, while local hydropower output remained low because the southwest monsoon was weak. The situation underscores the state's ongoing energy challenges and highlights reliance on external supplies.
