April-December 2025 electricity generation matches the same period in 2024. Total electricity generation for April-December in 2024 and in 2025 is 1380 billion units (BU).

Total electricity generation exceeded in December 2025 after lagging for two months compared to 2024.

Solar also outperformed with 14.36 BU in December 2025 compared to 10.71 billion units in December 2024 but still lags given the more than 40 GW capacity added in 2025.

โš ๏ธ Renewable generation data is from the month-end daily report. The monthly consolidated report generally differs on the higher side, mainly for renewable (not available at the moment).

โš ๏ธ Conventional generation data is from the monthly tentative report, and final data varies slightly.
