CPPA stated that a total of 7.81 billion units of electricity were supplied to distribution companies (DISCOs) across the country during the month. The reported average cost of electricity generation stood at Rs6.16 per unit.
Electricity generation during November relied on a diverse energy mix. Hydropower remained the largest contributor, accounting for 39.16 percent of total generation, reflecting increased water availability.
Local coal contributed 9.34 percent, while imported coal accounted for 5.06 percent of electricity generation. Natural gas made up 8.44 percent, and imported liquefied natural gas (LNG) contributed 8.64 percent to the overall supply.
Nuclear energy also played a significant role, contributing 25.23 percent of total electricity generation in November. Energy experts note that a higher share of relatively cheaper sources can help lower overall generation costs.
