The Goa Electricity Department announced that peak‑load periods will now run until 1 am during hotter weather to balance supply and demand.
The Goa Electricity Department has issued a notice that the definition of peak‑load hours will be extended until 1 am on days when temperatures rise sharply. This adjustment aims to smooth out the surge in electricity consumption that typically occurs during the evening and night in hotter weather.
Officials said the change will help prevent sudden overloads on the grid and reduce the likelihood of unplanned load‑shedding. Consumers are advised to shift non‑essential usage to off‑peak periods where possible.
The department will monitor demand patterns closely and may fine‑tune the schedule further if required, ensuring reliable power supply across the state during the summer months.
The move aligns with broader energy‑conservation measures being promoted by the state government, encouraging households and businesses to adopt efficient appliances and practices.
Residents are urged to stay informed through official channels and cooperate with the revised timings to avoid inconvenience.
