Is electricity 16% or 9.5% of Jetpur's textile cluster energy, and why is it 44% of the bill?
The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) Jetpur profile says electricity is about 16% of the cluster's energy. Its own table gives 9,605 of 101,387 tonnes of oil equivalent (toe), 9.5%. Power is 44% of the rupees (Rs) 1,762 million bill, about eight times lignite per unit of heat.
Two shares in one profile
The text beside the energy chart says the share of thermal energy 'is estimated to be 84%' and electricity about 16%. The cluster summary table gives thermal 91,781 toe and electricity 9,605 of 101,387: 90.5% and 9.5%. The profile does not say why they differ, and we found no basis for 16% in its tables. Our page on Jetpur fuels quotes the text's 84%.
For a unit-level or loan figure use the table, which adds up: 2,247 + 53,534 + 36,000 + 9,605 = 101,386, one under the printed total, a rounding.
The bill, by energy form
- Wood 6,420 tonnes: 2,247 toe, Rs 29 million. Briquettes 140,880 tonnes: 53,534 toe, Rs 592 million. Lignite 90,000 tonnes: 36,000 toe, Rs 360 million. Electricity 111.7 million kilowatt hours (kWh): 9,605 toe, Rs 782 million. Printed total Rs 1,762 million (the rows add to 1,763).
- Share of energy against share of bill: lignite 35.5% and 20.4%; briquettes 52.8% and 33.6%; wood 2.2% and 1.6%; electricity 9.5% and 44.4%.
Rupees per toe
Lignite 360 / 36,000 = Rs 10,000 per toe (million rupees over toe, times a million). Briquettes Rs 11,058. Wood Rs 12,906. Electricity 782 / 9,605 = Rs 81,416, which is Rs 7.0 a kWh, 8.1 times lignite for the same heat.
That is why a cluster that is 90% heat by energy spends 44% of its bill on power.
What it means for you
- Power saving is worth more in rupees than its energy share suggests; fuel saving is worth more in tonnes and in biomass or lignite carbon dioxide (CO2).
- Grid power in the cluster: 111.7 million kWh x 0.675 kilograms (kg) of CO2 a kWh for financial year (FY) 2025-26 is about 75,400 tonnes, our arithmetic at today's factor.
- Redo the split with your own invoices: rupees and units for each energy form over 12 months.
Power and lignite from the cluster summary
- Share of energy: 9,605 / 101,387 = 9.5%; thermal 91,781 / 101,387 = 90.5%
- Share of bill: 782 / 1,762 = 44.4%
- Lignite: Rs 360 million / 36,000 toe = Rs 10,000 per toe
- Power: Rs 782 million / 9,605 toe = Rs 81,416 per toe, 8.1 x lignite; 782 / 111.7 = Rs 7.0 a kWh
- Power CO2: 111,700,000 x 0.675 = 75,398,000 kg

What Senseible does here
Senseible reads fuel invoices and electricity bills into monthly records, so power and fuel are on file in rupees and units for each month, so your split comes from your own year. It does not explain a published survey's shares.
