- Power generation increased by 1.0% YoY in Dec’24, reaching 7,800 GWh (10,484 MW), compared to 7,726 GWh (10,385 MW) in Dec’23. However, on a MoM basis, power generation declined by 2.9%.
- During 1HFY25, power generation decreased by 3.4% year over year to 66,641 GWh (15,091 MW), compared to 68,982 GWh (15,621 MW) during the same period last year.
- In Dec’24, actual power generation was 1.6% lower than the reference generation, which is expected to impact the upcoming QTA positively.
- Nuclear-based generation grew by 41.1% YoY but was 8.9% lower than the reference generation for the month.
- Hydel generation fell by 4.4% YoY, amounting to 1,778 GWh compared to 1,859 GWh, though it was 7.3% higher than the reference generation.
- RLNG-based generation increased by 27.4% YoY but remained 3.9% below the reference generation for the month.
- Gas-based generation rose by 16.2% YoY and was 4.0% above the reference generation.
- Imported coal-based generation saw a sharp decline of 67.7% YoY and was 44.6% lower than the reference generation set at the start of FY25. Local coal-based generation also dropped by 40.2% YoY to 784 GWh, remaining 1.3% below the reference level.
- Solar-based power generation grew by 22.6% YoY, rising from 76 GWh to 62 GWh, though 1.3% lower than the reference generation.
- Wind-based power generation saw a substantial increase of 74.7% YoY, rising from 150 GWh to 262 GWh, and was 42.4% higher than the reference generation.
