"We don't just Generate and Distribute Electrical Power… We Generate Association and Distribute Assurance."
CESC is India's first fully integrated electrical utility company ever since 1899, generating and distributing power in Kolkata and Howrah.
We have private participation in generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical power. We are the sole distributor of electricity within an area of 567sq km of Kolkata, Howrah and adjoining areas and serve 3.4 million consumers which include domestic, industrial, and commercial users. We own & operate two thermal power plants in our licensed area generating 885 MW of power. These are Budge Budge Generating Station (750 MW) and Southern Generating Station (135 MW) within our licensed area.
Amongst others, we have commissioned Haldia Thermal plant, which is a 600 MW project at Haldia, West Bengal. The entire power from Haldia is utilised to meet the total power requirement of CESC. The power from Haldia propagates to the city through dedicated 400KV network.
From our two embedded generating stations along with power from Haldia & Asansol, we accomplish around 85-90% of our customers' electricity requirement and remaining 15-10% is procured by purchase of electricity from other sources. Around 30% of the required coal is sourced from captive mines for generation of electricity in Budge Budge.
We also have a presence in the renewable fields with Solar Power Plants in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, with a combined capacity of 27MW.
