Electricity consumption in Kerala stood at 104.63 million units (mu) on Wednesday, March 27, an all-time high for the State which is battling sweltering heat this summer season.
The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) had logged 103.86 mu on Tuesday, which was a record at the time, but a short-lived one.
Heavy dependence on air conditioners to ward off the summer heat, and the festival and election seasons have driven up consumption beyond projections, much to the dismay of the KSEB.
