According to the application by CPPA, 38.10% of electricity in August was produced using hydraulic power, while 15.39% by coal. 7.27% of electricity was produced using furnace oil, 12.49% by RLNG, 13.34% by Nuclear power plants, and 9.36% by using local gas.

The per unit price of coal-produced electricity was Rs20.54, furnace oil Rs35.61, local gas Rs10.49 while power produced using RLNG cost Rs24.72 per unit.

A total of 13.638 billion units of electricity were produced in August, the CPPO application read. The average production cost for August was Rs10.11 per unit and the reference fuel cost was set at Rs9.89.
