As per a recent report, the soaring temperature has led to a surge in power consumption in Chenna and parts of Tamil Nadu. Last Wednesday, the power demand increased to 18,828 MW with the capital city's peak hour demand rose to 3,800 MW which was 500 MW higher than the average demand of 3,300 MW in May.

"When temperature rises, people tend to use air conditioners for long to get relief from the sweltering heat," DT Next quoted a senior official from the Tamil Nadu State Load Despatch Centre (TNSLDC) as saying.

However, the intermittent rain and weather fluctuations have ensured that the overall demand in 2025 has remained slightly lower.
