Hi Jai, there is no Central excise duty on electicity, it is the state which levied electricity duty or tax on the electricity which is not specified as eligible tax/duty to be claimed as CENVAT under rule 3(1) of Cenvat Credit Rule 2004. So this electicity duty paid will not be available as credit.
