CESC is India’s first fully integrated electrical utility company and we’ve been on an epic ride ever since 1899 in 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 serve 2.9 million consumers which include domestic, industrial and commercial users. We own & operate three thermal power plants generating 1125 MW of power. These are Budge Budge Generating Station (750 MW), Southern Generating Station (135 MW), & Titagarh Generating Station (240 MW) . From our three generating stations, we accomplish 88% of our customer’s electricity requirement and remaining 12% is achieved by purchase of electricity from third parties. More than 50% of coal is sourced from captive mines for generation of electricity in our generating stations.
