Monday, March 18, 2024

As temperatures increase, the country is witnessing an increase in the electrical load index. According to report, the electrical load index reached 8,380 megawatts at one o’clock Saturday afternoon as the temperature reaches 30 degrees Celsius.

Meanwhile, the acting Undersecretary of the Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy, assured the public that there is no energy crisis despite the surge in electricity demands during the holy month of Ramadan, while at the same time calling on citizens and residents to exercise energy conservation, particularly during peak consumption hours.

Last year, during the summer the electrical load index nearly reached 17,000 megawatts, leading to localized power outages across the country due to malfunctions in some stations.
