Record power consumption in Kerala.

The state witnessed a record consumption of power last Monday with the demand rising drastically to 100.3586 crore units. With the mercury levels rising, the demand for power is increasing by leaps and bounds.

Compared to last year there is an eight percent increase in power consumption now. However, the Electricity Board has decided not to bring in any power curbs now, as we are in a comfortable position - a KSEB official.  

The power minister, K Krishnankutty, has urged the consumers to exercise restraint in power consumption during peak hours. 

The KSEB officials are anticipating some sort of easing of situation once the summer showers begin to fall from the beginning of next week.
