Kathmandu. Nepal Electricity Authority has estimated that the peak demand for electricity will reach around 1700 megawatts this evening during Laxmi Puja. The demand for electricity is highest across the country during Laxmi Puja. The Authority has made special preparations to manage the electricity load according to the demand and ensure reliable and continuous electricity supply to the consumers.

The Authority has stated that the demand will be easily managed from internal production. According to the Executive Director of the Authority, Dirghayu Kumar Shrestha, it is projected that around 2500 megawatts of electricity will be produced in the system during the Laxmi Puja period. He clarified that since internal production will be more than the total demand, the electricity supply will be smooth and internal production will be sufficient to meet the demand.
