 SITE SELECTION OF
THERMAL POWER PLANT

1. Availability of coal ( for 300 MW requires about 30000—5000 tonnes of coal per day
2. Ash disposal facilities ( for 300 MW requires around 7.5 hectares area per year and
height of 6.5 meters
3. Availability of water
4. Land requirement (3 to 5 acres per MW capacity)
5. Nature of land
6. Nearness to load centre
7. Transfer facilities
8. Availability of labour
9. Future expansion
10. Pollution and public problems
11. Away from airfields
