Electricity Generation in Assam

Assam Power Generation Corporation Ltd. (APGCL) was constituted after unbundling of ASEB in Dec 2004 through State Power Sector Reforms Programme under the provision of Electricity Act’2003. The final Transfer scheme was implemented on Aug’2005 with a new Company Balance Sheet w.e.f. April 2005. The company is mainly responsible for maximum energy generation to meet up the energy demand in the state. The Total Installed Capacity of APGCL is 379.7 MW and APGCL Peak Generation is around 250 MW.

APGCL comprises of 4 running Power Stations :
1) Namrup Thermal Power Station (NTPS) (119.5 MW), Namrup, Dibrugarh
