Overview
KOTA COMPLEX is a 125 MW coal power plant in Kota, India, operated by Dcm & chem. It is an operational facility contributing to the region's power generation capacity.
KOTA COMPLEX is a coal-fired power plant located in Kota, India, with a capacity of 125 megawatts. The facility is owned by Dcm & chem and is currently operational, serving the local and regional electricity demand. As a coal-based plant, it represents a significant component of India's thermal power generation infrastructure. The plant operates under India's environmental regulations, including the Environment Protection Act and emission standards for coal power plants. With a capacity of 125 MW, it falls into the small-to-medium scale category for coal plants in India. KOTA COMPLEX plays a role in meeting the power needs of Kota and surrounding areas. Its coal-based generation contributes to the grid stability but also involves emissions management. The plant's operational status ensures continued electricity supply, while regulatory oversight aims to balance energy production with environmental considerations.
Environmental context
The plant's coal combustion results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, typical for this fuel type. Its location in Kota, a city with moderate population density, means emissions may impact local air quality. The 125 MW capacity suggests a moderate environmental footprint compared to larger supercritical plants. India's emission standards for coal plants require compliance with SO2 and NOx limits, and the plant likely uses pollution control measures such as electrostatic precipitators.
