Energy Resources Minister C.T.R. Nirmal Kumar on Tuesday said a prolonged summer had led to a spurt in electricity demand in the State, and the Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (TNPDCL) had to resort to purchasing power at more than ₹30 per unit to avoid unscheduled power cuts.
Addressing the media, he said the current peak power demand was 21,000 MW when compared to 16,000 MW last year — a 30% increase due to the El Niño effect. He said the entire country was facing an energy shortage.
