Telangana power demand crosses 17,000 MW amid grid strain

Telangana’s peak power demand, which typically settles around 11,000 MW during the monsoon, has surged past 16,500 MW and crossed 17,000 MW mid-season, putting unprecedented pressure on the grid. Thermal power faces constraints, while solar capacity remains underused during the day, when the grid faces its sharpest deficit before sunrise.
