For a typical large captive power plant (above 25 MW), electricity generation cost is generally below INR 5.0/kWh depending on the type of fuel/technology (coal, gas, solar, wind, etc.) and location of the plant. On the …
Captive plants may have low efficiency due to smaller size9 and domestic coal. Due to such inefficiency, there could be fuel scarcity in the country if captive plants become mainstream sources of power. Human Resources. Captive power plants may lack skilled and trained manpower for the day to day operations of the power plant9.
As a form of distributed generation, captive power plants generate power close to the point of use, leading to high fuel efficiency and minimising losses associated with electricity transmission from centralised power plants. This proximity to the power source enhances overall energy efficiency and is particularly beneficial in scenarios where the transmission losses can …
