Punjab Power and Public Works Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO announced today that the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) successfully met a record high electricity demand of 3626 million units in a single day on July 16.

The Minister stated that despite the monsoon season, humid conditions and low rainfall have led to a significant increase in power demand across the state. This increase has been observed in domestic consumption, irrigation for paddy crops, and industrial use.

Minister Harbhajan Singh ETO further informed that on June 23, 2024, PSPCL had supplied 3563 million units in a day, which was a record at that time. This record has now been surpassed on July 16.

He further added that the peak demand of 15919 MW met on July 16 is also close to all time high peak demand of 16058 MW met on June 29 this year.

The Minister said that this achievement is the result of strategic planning and efficient resource management. He explained that all available resources within and outside the state were fully utilized to ensure stable and reliable power supply.

“PSPCL has met this increased demand without any interruptions. This is the result of the hard work and dedication of our employees,” said Harbhajan Singh ETO.

The Minister assured that the Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann led Punjab government is committed to ensuring continuous and quality power supply in the state
