GSECL, GPCL, Independent Power Production responsible behind generation of electricity in Gujarat. Transmission in Gujarat state provide by GETCO. Distribution done by PGVCL, MGVCL, DGVCL, UGVCL, ASPEN, Torrent Power, MPSEZ, KPT and Adani Power Ltd in Gujarat. These utilities responsible behind very good electricity generation graph. Gujarat Electricity Board unbundled Gujarat’s electricity department into few utility at 1st April 2005.

Total Power plant installed capacity of Gujarat around 37,200 MW that’s include renewable energy installed capacity around 11,000 MW, Nuclear power plant installed capacity around 450 MW, Thermal Power Plant’s installed capacity around 23,800 MW, Hydro Power Plant’s installed capacity around 2000 MW.  

Thermal (Coal fired Power Station) Private limited

             Up to 2029-2030 Gujarat’s Coal fired power plant capacity will reach up to 14 GW. Thermal Power capacity covers about 69.1 % of Gujarat’s total generation capacity. Total Coal fired thermal power plant’s installed capacity around 15 GW include 1.6 GW of Lignite fired Thermal Power plant. Gujarat is one of the fewest states who has Lignite. Gujarat imported coal by rail from Odisha, West Bengal and Jharkhand. Total transportation of coal by rail around 1500 km. In Gujarat coal fired power plant total sector dominated by privet limited sector. Total generation from private coal fired thermal power plant around 1500 MW.
