Aggregate registry capacity reconciled against the CEA control baseline.
The world’s power,
in one open registry.
Generation, installed capacity and every power plant — country by country. Open data, beautifully organised.
The world’s power system, country by country
Electricity generation and installed capacity for every country (Ember) and power plants worldwide (WRI). Countries with a unit-level registry, starting with India, link to their full records below.

India Unit-Level Generation Registry
A unit-level register of India’s power-generating assets, consolidated from CEA-derived and MNRE-derived records and from clearly identified supplementary sources. Every entry carries its provenance and verification status, tracing capacity from generation through transmission to distribution.
Generation to consumption: the electrical value chain
An animated process schematic showing how electricity moves from a registered generating unit to the end consumer: generator voltage, step-up, EHV transmission, regional step-down and HT/LT distribution. Flow is indicative of the process and is not real-time telemetry.

CEA-derived records are presented as the primary unit-level generating registry. MNRE-derived renewable records represent state-level aggregate capacity and are not treated as individual generating units. Supplementary named assets are separately identified and should not be interpreted as government-certified records.
Three source classes, kept separate
Every India registry record is labelled by where it comes from, so nothing is mistaken for government-certified data.
CEA-derived
The primary unit-level generating registry, with individual plants and units derived from CEA data.
Source: CEAMNRE-derived
Renewable records represent state-level aggregate capacity and are not treated as individual generating units.
Source: MNRESupplementary
Named assets identified separately for research. They should not be read as government-certified records.
Source: Supplementary researchIndia Power Registry Verification Status
Registry capacity is independently reconciled against the stated CEA control baseline. The SZVEX registry is not force-fitted to the government total.
Evidence without fiction.
SZVEX presents registry measurements against the declared government control baseline. Values shown here are loaded from the verified registry and evidence ledger at runtime.

Evidence integrity
Evidence pipeline
Authoritative or documented source records enter the evidence pipeline.
Records are represented in a consistent registry structure.
Structural, numeric and integrity controls are evaluated.
Registry capacity is compared with the government control baseline.
Verified values become visible through the SZVEX interface.
Questions about the data
How the registry treats its sources, how its verification is computed, and what it does and does not claim.
Why is the registry not forced to match the CEA total?
How is the reconciliation against the CEA baseline calculated?
What do the six integrity controls actually test?
What does PASS, VERIFYING or a blank value mean?
Are MNRE records individual plants?
Can supplementary records be treated as government-certified?
Where do the verification numbers come from?
Why does the global section show different India totals from the registry?
How current is the global plant data?
Which countries have a unit-level registry?
