Overview
MUL GRETA is a 15 MW coal power plant in India, operated by Greta Energy Ltd. The facility is operational and contributes to the regional power grid.
MUL GRETA is a coal-fired power generation facility located in India, with a capacity of 15 MW. The plant is owned and operated by Greta Energy Ltd and is currently in operational status. As a small-scale coal power plant, it plays a role in meeting local electricity demand. The plant operates under India's environmental regulations, including the Environment Protection Act and emission standards for coal-fired thermal power plants. With a capacity of 15 MW, it falls into the small-scale category for coal power generation in India. The facility uses coal as its primary fuel, which involves typical combustion technology for plants of this size. The plant's location in central India places it within a region with significant coal power infrastructure. Its relatively small capacity suggests it may serve a localized grid or industrial area. The operational status indicates ongoing contribution to power supply, though the environmental impact of coal combustion remains a consideration for the surrounding area.
Environmental context
The plant's coal combustion generates CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, contributing to local air quality concerns. Its small capacity (15 MW) limits overall emissions compared to larger plants, but proximity to populated areas could increase exposure risks. India's regulatory framework mandates emission controls and monitoring for coal plants, though compliance varies by facility age and technology.
Frequently asked questions
MUL GRETA is located in India, with coordinates approximately 20.0805° N, 79.7148° E.
MUL GRETA has a capacity of 15 megawatts (MW), classifying it as a small-scale coal power plant.
The plant is owned and operated by Greta Energy Ltd.
Coal power plants in India must comply with the Environment Protection Act and emission standards for SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, as well as water discharge norms.
Small coal plants like MUL GRETA often use subcritical boiler technology, which is less efficient than supercritical or ultra-supercritical designs, resulting in higher emissions per MWh.
