  • Power generation decreased by 1.9% YoY in Jan’25, reaching 8,152 GWh (10,957 MW), compared to 8,314 GWh (11,175 MW) in Jan’24. However, on a MoM basis, power generation increased by 4.5%.
  • During 7MFY25, power generation decreased by 3.2% YoY to 74,794 GWh (14,495 MW) compared to 77,296 GWh (14,980 MW) during the same period last year.
  • In Jan’25, actual power generation was 4.0% lower than the reference generation, which is expected to negatively impact the upcoming QTA.
  • Nuclear-based generation grew by 25.5% YoY but was 4.3% lower than the reference generation for the month.
  • Hydel generation fell by 6.3% YoY, amounting to 866 GWh compared to 924 GWh, and was 3.5% lower than the reference generation.
  • RLNG-based generation increased by 1.8% YoY and remained 17.1% above the reference generation for the month.
  • Gas-based generation rose by 3.2% YoY but was 14.7% below the reference generation.
  • Imported coal-based generation saw an increase of 20.6% YoY and was 7.0% lower than the reference generation set at the start of FY25. However, local coal-based generation dropped by 7.6% YoY to 1,269 GWh and remained 37.0% above the reference level.
  • Solar-based power generation grew by 79.4% YoY, rising from 48 GWh to 86 GWh, though it was 8.5% lower than the reference generation.
  • Wind-based power generation saw a substantial increase of 70.9% YoY, rising from 218 GWh to 128 GWh, and was 5.2% lower than the reference generation.
