Indian engineers are cautioning about potential prolonged energy blackouts in the northern part of India as the demand for electricity surges in an effort to combat the intense heat. This surge in demand is primarily driven by the increased use of air conditioners and coolers. If the current situation persists, there is a high likelihood of grid disturbances, which could have cascading effects across the country. The heat wave in India has been causing extreme temperatures since mid-May, posing health risks and exacerbating water shortages in many areas.
