Due to sudden rise in mercury, electricity consumption has also increased. Within a week the demand for electricity has increased by more than one thousand MW. Whereas on May 9, the maximum supply was 9984 MW, but now the demand has reached 11 thousand MW. Due to increase in heat, coolers and ACs have started running, due to which there is more demand for power supply. Meteorologists say that there will be heat and heat waves in June, hence there will be peak demand for electricity in the month of June and it is possible that a total of 14 thousand MW electricity may be consumed.
Nautapa is considered to be the hottest time for 9 days. This time Nautapa is going to start from May 25, which will continue till June 2. It is believed that the more intense the heat is in Nautapa, the better it rains for four months. Secondly, during Nautapa there are no insects and hence the possibility of spreading diseases is less. However, last year there was a lot of rain during the days of Nautapa.
