Captive power plants, also known as embedded generation or autoproducers, are establishments that generate electricity for the individual use of commercial or industrial energy consumers. Growing industrialization, cost savings, increased power consumption, rising electricity demand, advanced technologies, and government policies that encourage companies to seek out reliable and reasonably priced power sources are all contributing factors to the growth of the captive power plant market.

Report Highlights:

• Captive power plant market size is valuated at USD 63.2 Billion in 2025.
• Target Market size is estimated to be valuated at USD 142.0 Billion by 2035 and at a CAGR of 9.3%.
• Diesel fuel type has been captured biggest share of the market.
• The market is dominated by above 50MW power rating.
• Industrial end users are superior in the market as compared to others.
• Asia Pacific is dominating region.
• The Middle East and Africa are expected to have the fastest-growing captive power plant markets.

Key Highlights:

• In February 2025, The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has instituted a new procedure to verify the captive status of generating plants when a captive generating plant (CGP) and its captive users are located in different states. Following the September 1, 2023, release of an update to the Electricity Rules, 2005, this project aims to speed up the certification procedure for captive power generation. The procedure, which will be implemented in fiscal year 2024–2025, is applicable to all power plants and users who wish to confirm their captive status.

Report Analysis:

There are number of constraints in progress of captive power generation system. Some of these are:

• The industry has to employ skilled personnel to operate and maintain the captive power plants.
• Purchase and storage of fuel may lead to problems in some cases.
• Pollution due to small power plants is more than that due to big plants. Use of pollution control measures in captive plants would further increase the cost of captive power.
• Small size plant is inefficient especially at low load. This may aggravate the fuel and oil crises if captive power plant are installed and used in a big way.
