Approximately 4,000 megawatts of solar energy projects were reportedly affected by corruption during the DMK administration, according to The Hindu.

In a separate issue, the UK's largest energy supplier has advised consumers to refrain from using washing machines and dishwashers during the upcoming solar eclipse, as the shutdown of solar energy generation may coincide with a typical increase in electricity demand.
