Review and disclosure: Verified against the Power Division official snapshot

What the source includes

The official page presents a system-level snapshot dated 13 July 2026 and identifies the capacity scope as including captive and renewable energy.

What the figures do not mean

The capacity total is not a forecast of simultaneous supply. The maximum-generation record is not a typical daily value. Transmission length and substation MVA measure network scale, not reliability by themselves.

How to use the data

Use the snapshot as a dated reference and connect it to daily generation, plant availability, outages, fuel supply, demand and network performance before drawing operational conclusions.
