Nabha Power Limited's Rajpura thermal power plant has been named the country's best-performing supercritical coal-based thermal power plant for emission intensity. A report by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) evaluated all such plants in India and identified the Rajpura plant, a subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro, as a top performer in its category. The plant achieved an emission factor of 0.84 tonne/MWh, which is better than the national average, highlighting its efforts in clean energy transition.
Nabha Power Limited (NPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro, recently announced that its Rajpura thermal power plant has been named the country's best-performing supercritical coal-based thermal power plant for emission intensity. The recognition comes from a report by the think tank, Centre for Science and Environment (CSE). Advertisement
The plant, located in Punjab's Patiala district, was evaluated by the CSE in a recent report titled 'Decarbonizing the Coal-based Thermal Power Sector in India: A Roadmap'. The report evaluated the emission intensity of all coal-based thermal power plants in India and identified the Rajpura plant among the top performers in the below 800 MW capacity unit category.
According to CSE, the Rajpura plant achieved an emission factor of 0.84 tonne per megawatt-hour (MWh), which is a benchmark among all supercritical power units in the country. This is notably better than the national average emission factor of 0.97 tonne/MWh. The CSE report also highlighted the plant's auxiliary power consumption rate of 4.62 percent, which is the lowest in the sector.
The recognition highlights the plant's efforts to operate with lower emissions and better efficiency. As India continues to grow its energy sector, it is putting a greater focus on cleaner technologies, even within traditional power generation methods. Supercritical coal-based thermal power plants are considered a step towards cleaner energy production due to their higher efficiency and lower emissions compared to conventional coal plants.
