Overview

Vardham Budni is a 25.8 MW coal power plant in India, operated by the Vardham group. It is an operational facility contributing to the regional power grid.

Vardham Budni is a coal-fired power plant located in India, with a capacity of 25.8 MW. The facility is owned and operated by the Vardham group and is currently operational. As a coal power plant, it plays a role in meeting the energy demands of the region. The plant operates under India's national environmental regulations, including the Environment Protection Act and emission standards for coal-fired thermal power plants. With a capacity of 25.8 MW, it falls into the small-scale category for coal power plants in India, which often use subcritical technology. The facility's location in central India places it within a region with significant coal reserves and industrial activity. Environmental considerations for this plant include its coal fuel source, which results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions. The relatively small capacity may limit its overall environmental footprint compared to larger plants. The facility's operational status indicates it is actively contributing to the local power supply, supporting industrial and residential needs in the area.

Environmental context

The plant's coal fuel source results in emissions of CO2, SOx, and NOx, typical for coal-fired power generation. Its location in central India, a region with coal mining and industrial activity, may contribute to local air quality concerns. The 25.8 MW capacity suggests a moderate environmental footprint relative to larger coal plants, but emissions control technologies and compliance with national standards are important for mitigating impacts.

Frequently asked questions

Vardham Budni is a coal power plant located in India, with coordinates approximately 22.78° N, 77.65° E.

The plant has a capacity of 25.8 megawatts (MW), making it a small-scale coal power facility.

The plant is owned and operated by the Vardham group.

Coal power plants in India must comply with the Environment Protection Act and emission standards for SOx, NOx, and particulate matter, as set by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change.

Small coal power plants in India often use subcritical technology, which is less efficient than supercritical or ultra-supercritical designs, resulting in higher emissions per unit of electricity.
