Notably, on August 31, 2023, the country witnessed an all-time high peak demand of 236 GW along with the highest ever single day energy consumption of 5126 MU. Due to the combination of higher demand and supply constraints, prices on the Indian Energy Exchange during the month reached Rs 6.89/unit, marking a 33% year-on-year increase.
