Key figures: electricity in Gujarat
In October 2026, Gujarat was supplied 526 GWh of electricity on an average day, with demand peaking at 29.8 GW on 15 Oct 2026. That is 32.8% more per day than in October 2025.
The highest demand ever met in Gujarat since 2023 is 29.8 GW, on 15 Oct 2026.
In the last 365 days, Gujarat saw demand go unmet on 23 days, 73.3 million units (MU) in all. The deepest shortage was 8.2 MU on 6 Oct 2026.
Over the last 12 complete months, Gujarat met 60% of its demand without drawing from the interstate grid. This is a residual: energy met minus scheduled drawal and deviation, so a central station inside the state that is scheduled through the interstate grid counts as grid supply.
Its load factor, average demand as a share of the month's peak, was 73% in October 2026, against 83% for India as a whole.
