Overview
GHUGUS LMEL is a 30 MW coal power plant in India, operated by Lloyds Industries Ltd. The facility is operational and contributes to the regional power grid.
GHUGUS LMEL is a coal-fired power generation facility located in India, with a capacity of 30 megawatts. The plant is owned and operated by Lloyds Industries Ltd and is currently in operational status. As a small-scale coal power plant, it plays a role in meeting local electricity demand within the Indian power sector. The plant operates on coal as its primary fuel, a common energy source in India's power generation mix. With a capacity of 30 MW, it falls into the small-scale category for coal plants. India's coal power plants are subject to national emission standards under the Environment Protection Act and specific regulations for coal-fired thermal power plants, including norms for particulate matter, SOx, and NOx emissions. Located at coordinates 19.9306° N, 79.12° E, the plant serves the surrounding region. Its operation contributes to the local energy supply, though coal combustion results in CO2 and other emissions. The facility's relatively small capacity means its environmental footprint is limited compared to larger plants, but it still operates within India's regulatory framework for coal power generation.
Environmental context
The plant's coal combustion produces CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, contributing to local air quality concerns. Its location in India, a country with significant coal power capacity, places it under national emission standards. The 30 MW capacity indicates a relatively small footprint, but proximity to populated areas could affect local communities. India's regulatory framework includes emission limits for coal plants, though compliance varies.
