The utility electricity sector in India has one National Grid with an installed capacity of 344.69 GW as on 31 August 2018. Renewable power plants constituted 33.60% of total installed capacity. During the fiscal year 2017-18, the gross electricity generated by utilities in India was 1,303.49 TWh and the total electricity generation in the country was 1,486.5 TWh. The gross electricity consumption was 1,149 kWh per capita in the year 2017-18. India is the world's third largest producer and third largest consumer of electricity.
