State’s energy requirement, peak demand to go up in 2024-25, says CEA

The Kerala State Electricity Board’s (KSEB) struggle to balance electricity demand and supply may not see much respite in 2024-25, if new projections on energy demand released by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) are any indication.

The State’s annual electrical energy requirement is expected to rise to 31,999 mu (million units) and peak demand to 5424 megawatts (mw) in 2024-25, show the latest CEA projections for the coming fiscal.

The month-wise break-up, as per the ‘Anticipated Energy Requirement and Peak Demand for Financial Year 2024-25’ shows that the energy demand will peak in April 2024 and March 2025 — the summer months — at 3036 mu and 3033 mu respectively.
