Atomic energy, which accounted for 2,145 GWh or 15.09 percent of the total generation, provided electricity at a relatively low price of RS2.1950/kWh. Imported electricity from Iran, although a smaller contributor of 78 GWh, wore a much higher price tag of RS41,0948/kWh.

Despite its limited share of 92 GWh (0.65%), residual fuel oil (RFO (RFO) had the most expensive unit costs among conventional fuels at RS33,0064/kWh. High -speed diesel recorded no generation during the month.
