Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held a meeting with energy officials to address the rising demand for electricity due to extreme heat. He emphasized the need for uninterrupted power supply across both rural and urban areas, urging the energy department to enhance accountability and consumer-centric services. The state's total generation capacity has now reached 13,388 MW, with significant contributions from thermal and hydropower projects. Adityanath highlighted the importance of maximizing generation capacity and improving technical efficiency at power plants. Power demand has notably increased, with daily consumption rising from 501 million units (MU) to 561 MU between mid-April and late May, and peak demand hitting 30,339 MW. To address this, the state has established power banking arrangements with 12 states. The CM also reported a substantial reduction in transformer failures, which fell by 80% due to enhanced maintenance protocols. Furthermore, the installation of 89.23 lakh smart meters aims to improve billing accuracy and consumer service transparency. Adityanath called for ongoing monitoring and a long-term energy strategy to meet future demand effectively.
