India’s power consumption continues to break records in 2024, even though June’s heatwave conditions were less severe than those in May. Energy use increased by 8% compared to the same month last year, though it was lower than in May due to the arrival of the southwest monsoon in some parts of the country. June recorded the third-highest energy consumption in the country in the last six years. But more could be in store for the rest of the season: in August last year, energy consumption hit 153.1 GWh, the second highest ever.
