The Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) recorded a new peak electricity demand of 8,756.31 MW on March 23, 2026, across Bangkok, Nonthaburi, and Samut Prakan. This surpasses the previous high for the year, set earlier in March.

This continuous rise in demand, driven by hot weather, highlights the importance of MEA's robust grid infrastructure and readiness to ensure a stable power supply for urban areas.
