Electricity demand hit a fresh peak of 2,177.13 Megawatts(MW) last month, signalling the uptick in economic activities and consumption by households.

Official data from the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) shows that the record demand came on February 24, coinciding with a period when local generation dipped to the second lowest in at least eight months.
