India’s energy consumption increased 18.6% to 129.51 billion units in August

India’s energy consumption grew by 18.6 percent in August to 129.51 billion units (BU) and remained higher than before COVID due to improved economic activity amid a reduction in international closures, according to energy department data.

The country’s power consumption in August last year stood at 109.21 BU, down from 111.52 BU in the same month in 2019, according to the data.
Experts say the renewable energy demand and energy use by August 2021 are similar and robust.

They are optimistic that recovery will continue to improve as many provinces have lowered locks to boost economic activity following a decline in the number of new cases.

The only fear that another wave of the epidemic could curb this recurrence is in the use of force and demand, they say.
The demand and use of trade and industry power has been affected from April onwards this year due to the restrictions imposed by the provinces to contain the second lethal wave of COVID-19.

There are fears of another wave of epidemics that could create barricades and will have an impact on trade and energy industries in the country, according to experts.

The demand for high power met or the maximum supply per day stood at 196.24 GW in August, which is 17.1 percent higher compared to the previous year.
The demand for energy in August 2020 stands at 167.52 GW, which is less than 177.52 GW in the same month in 2019, indicating the negative impact of the epidemic on energy demand.
