I would suspect, that with the large areas of India that are rural, there should be good access to power generators. It will depend on where you will be moving in India, to determine if you will need a power generator. The large metropolitan areas may not allow generators due to the noise and pollution they create.

n India the demand of electricity per head is more than generation of electricity.Moreover till December 2011, over 300 million Indian citizens had no access to electricity. With the growing population the demand also increasing. However, generation of electricity is not increasing at that pace. In the picture it is showing a good sign as shortage of power in peak is reducing year by year.
You can find out what power generators they have in India by sufing the interent. Surely, something would come up and you will find what you are looking for.
More than 65% of India's electricity generation capacity comes from thermal power plants, with about 85% of the country's thermal power generation being coal-based. The 10 largest thermal power stations operating in India are all coal-fired, with seven of them owned and operated by state-run National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).
Indias hydro-electric power is not poor it just is of poor quality.
In India maximum generation is 21.5kv
West Bengal
asia is the first in rank among all continent of the world in hydro electric power generation.
If you live in the United States, a good place to look is on this website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Power_companies_of_the_United_States. It is a list of power generation companies in the United States.
the thermal power stations are not only located in India, they are located in the part of the world where there are coal reserves, India has large coal reserve located in various parts of M.P,C.G,JHARKHAND & KOLKATA,this is the reason behind the location of thermal power stations in India,as these stations use coal for the generation of electricity
