India’s power sector produces an extraordinary amount of public data. Every day, load dispatch centres publish generation figures. Every month, the CEA releases capacity additions, plant-wise performance, and state-level statistics. Exchanges publish clearing prices in fifteen-minute blocks. Coal dispatch, gas allocation, reservoir levels, transmission flows, emissions intensity — it is all out there, and almost all of it is genuinely public.

The problem is that it is scattered across a dozen agencies, published in PDFs designed for printing rather than reading, formatted inconsistently from one month to the next, and buried behind navigation that assumes you already know exactly what you are looking for. Answering a simple question — how much did solar generation actually grow in Rajasthan last year? — can mean an afternoon of downloading files, reconciling column headers, and hoping nobody renamed a category halfway through.

Wattfeed started as a set of scripts written to avoid doing that afternoon twice. Somewhere between the third rewrite and the fortieth dataset it stopped being a private convenience and became something worth handing over: a single place where India’s electricity data is cleaned, reconciled, cross-checked against source totals, and put on a chart that loads before you have finished blinking.

We are not a government portal and we are not a consultancy — nobody here is going to sell you a strategy deck. We do not model the future or editorialise the past. We take what the official sources publish, make it legible, and cite exactly where every figure came from. Now and then a source drops a day or two mid-series — a server that took the afternoon off, a holiday, a spreadsheet that went quiet. Where the numbers on either side make the answer obvious, we bridge that sliver ourselves and label it plainly, so you can discard it if you disagree. Where the hole is genuinely a hole, it stays one. A gap you can see beats a zero that lies to you.
