<h1>Power consumption decline reflects cooler weather and unseasonal rains, easing peak electricity demand in the near term.</h1> Power consumption in October decreased by six percent to 132 billion units due to reduced use of cooling appliances after unseasonal rainfall and cooler temperatures. October peak power demand fell to 210.71 GW from 219.22 GW the prior year, and demand is expected to remain subdued into November as temperature moderation reduces cooling-related load.
