A captive power plant, also known as an auto producer or integrated generation, is a facility that generates electricity for the private benefit of commercial or industrial energy consumers. Captive power plants can operate on their own or trade excess generation by connecting to the electrical grid. Captive power plants are commonly used by steel mills, chemical plants, aluminum smelters, and other power-intensive industries where stable and high-quality energy supplies are crucial.

The market for captive power plants is expanding due to a number of factors, including increased industrialization, cost savings, rising power consumption, rising electricity demand, advanced technologies, and government policies that encourage companies to seek out reliable and reasonably priced power sources.
