Consumption of electricity dropped 13.2 percent or by 129.5 million units last month as the global coronavirus pandemic hit consumer demand and forced firms and industries to cut back on their operations.
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) said electricity consumption dropped from 978.1 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) in March to 848.6 million kWh in April—the lowest monthly use of power in 32 months.
