Consumption of cheap electricity at night and weekends by industries dipped to a four year low in the period ended June 2025 with 180.1 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) used, signaling reduced economic activity by the businesses and exit of big firms from the special tariff.
Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra) data shows that this was a decline of 19.9 percent from the 225 GWh used a year earlier by industries and electric vehicles (EVs) under the special tariff, commonly referred to as the Time of Use (ToU).
