List of power stations in India
The following lists some of the power stations in India.
Non-renewable
Nuclear
Nuclear power is the fourth-largest source of electricity in India after thermal, hydro and wind power.[1] As of 2010, India had 19 nuclear power reactors in operation generating 4,560 MW while 4 other are under construction and are expected to generate an additional 2,720 MW.[2]
Nineteen nuclear power reactors operated at six sites by the Nuclear Power Corporation of India produce 4,560.00 MW, 2.9% of total installed base.[3]
Thermal Power
Thermal power is the largest source of power in India.There are different types of Thermal power plants based on the fuel used to generate the steam such as coal, gas, Diesel etc. About 75% of electricity consumed in india are generated by Thermal power plants.
More than 50% of india's commercial energy demand is met through the country's vast coal reserves. Public sector undertaking National Thermal Power Corporation and several other state level power generating companies are engaged in operating coal based Thermal Power Plants.Apart from NTPC and other state level operators, some private companies are also operating the power plants. Here is some list of currently operating Coal based Thermal power plants in India. As on July 31, 2010, and as per the Central Electricity Authority the total installed capacity of Coal or Lignite based power plants in india are 87093.38 MW.[4]
Gas or Liquid Fuel Based
As on July 31, 2010, and as per the Central Electricity Authority the total installed capacity of Gas based power plants in india is 17,353.85 MW.[4]. This accounts for 10% of the total installed capacity.GAIL is the main source of fuel for most of these plants. Here is some list of presently operating plants.
