Rajasthan has both conventional and non-conventional energy sources. Conventional: Thermal power (coal and lignite based), Hydroelectric power (from dams on Chambal). Non-conventional: Solar (Bhadla Solar Park — world's largest), Wind (Jaisalmer, Barmer, Jodhpur), Biomass, and Nuclear (Rawatbhata Atomic Power Station).

Major thermal power stations: Kota Super Thermal Power Station (coal-based, largest in Rajasthan — on Chambal river), Suratgarh Super Thermal Power Station (Ganganagar district — NOT Bikaner, common trick!), Kalisindh Thermal Power Project (Jhalawar), Chhabra Thermal Power Plant (Baran), Giral Lignite Thermal Power Station (Barmer), Barsinghsar Thermal Power Project (Bikaner, 250 MW lignite-based). Note: There is NO Sikar Thermal Power Station (REET trap).

Solar energy: Bhadla Solar Park (Jodhpur) — world's largest solar park with 2,245 MW capacity. Nokh Solar Park (Jaisalmer). Rajasthan receives maximum sunshine hours in India, making it ideal for solar energy. Wind energy farms concentrated in Jaisalmer, Barmer, and Jodhpur districts. Nuclear: Rajasthan Atomic Power Station at Rawatbhata (Chittorgarh) — uses CANDU (Canadian Deuterium Uranium) reactor technology, located near Rana Pratap Sagar Dam.

REET Exam Tips: Focus on power station-district matching (Suratgarh=Ganganagar NOT Bikaner, Kalisindh=Jhalawar, Bhadla=Jodhpur), thermal vs solar vs nuclear distinction, and Bhadla = world's largest solar park fact.
