Southern Repl. Coal Power Plant | 135 MW Facility in India

Southern Repl. is a coal-fired power generation facility located in India, with a capacity of 135 megawatts. The plant is operational and plays a role in meeting regional electricity demand. As a coal-based plant, it is part of India's diverse power generation portfolio, which includes a significant share of thermal power. The plant operates under India's environmental regulations, including emission standards for coal power plants set by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. India has implemented stricter norms for particulate matter, SOx, and NOx emissions, and plants are required to install pollution control equipment. The 135 MW capacity places it in the small-to-medium scale category for coal plants in India. The facility's location near Kolkata (22.55°N, 88.29°E) places it in a densely populated region, where air quality management is a priority. The plant's operations are subject to local environmental oversight, and its contribution to the grid supports industrial and residential electricity needs in the area.

The plant's coal fuel source results in CO2, SOx, NOx, and particulate emissions, which are regulated under India's environmental laws. Its proximity to populated areas necessitates compliance with ambient air quality standards. The 135 MW capacity indicates a moderate environmental footprint, and the plant may be subject to emission reduction requirements under India's National Clean Air Programme.
