Electricity generation from gas-based power plants was 1,110 GWh (8.80 percent) at Rs 13.1974 per unit. Generation from RLNG was 2,748 GWh (21.78 percent of total generation) at Rs 24.0113 per unit.

The total energy generated was recorded at 12,617 GWh, at a basket price of Rs 8.7441 per unit. The total cost of energy was Rs 110.324 billion. However, with proposed previous adjustment of Rs 3.064 billion and sale of electricity IPPs at (negative Rs 1.161 billion), net electricity delivered to Discos in May 2024 was 12,267 GWh at a rate of Rs 9.1223 per unit, total price of which was Rs 111.904 billion.
