It would be equipped with Electro Static Precipitators (ESPs) of 99.9% efficiency to minimize the carbon level in smoke. Moreover, the plant would keep the height of Stack Chimney at the higher level of 275 meters to have minimum effect of pollution free smoke on adjoining areas.
It may be recalled that presently the total demand of the power in the state was 9786 MW against the total installed capacity 6841 MW with the short fall of 2379 MW. The demand of power will expected to touch 12000 MW during next two years
