1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The project proponent, Madhya Pradesh Power Generating CO. Limited (MPPGCL), is a company
incorporated on 22.11.2001 and started functioning independently from 01.06.2005. Government of
Madhya Pradesh approved MPPGCL as a generating company to undertake implementation of new
power project. The Satpura Thermal Power Station, Sarni is a part of MPPGCL. At present, STPS
MPPGCL Sarni is having total installed generating capacity of 1330 MW while proposed generation
capacity is 660 MW. The company is in business of generation of electricity from coal based Thermal
Power Plant & from Hydro Power Plants.
5x 62.5 MW units of PH-I, STPS-Sarni were of very old design & completed their service life.
Therefore they have been decommissioned & dismantled. Now, technology has improved and
supercritical coal-based units with higher capacity, higher efficiency, lower auxiliary power
consumption and lower heat rates have been developed. Now, MPPGCL intends to install 1x 660
MW supercritical unit at the location of dismantled units. At present, the total installed generating
capacity at Satpura TPS is 1330 MW, comprising 1x200MW, 3x210MW, and 2x250 MW.
As per EIA Notification 2006 as amended, thermal power plants having more than 500 MW production
capacity falls under Project Activity 1(d), category A, and for the project under consideration, an
environmental clearance is to be taken from MOEF&CC. This PFR is prepared as an attachment to Form 1
for obtaining TOR for preparation of EIA Report needed for environmental clearance.

STATION UNIT NO. 12 (1X 660 MW), PH- V AT SARNI, DISTT. BETUL (M.P.) 1-4
To aim with this MPPGCL proposes to set up 1X660 MW Coal based Supercritical Unit with the existing
Thermal Power Plant at Sarni, District Betul, Madhya Pradesh. The proposed unit shall be set up in place
of dismantled and decommissioned units (i.e. 5 x 62.5 MW) of MPPGCL thermal power plant.
Location of the proposed power plant unit has been identified taking into account intrinsic features such as:
availability of adequate land, availability and transportation logistics of fuel, availability of nearby water
source, availability of infrastructure facilities to evacuate generated power from the station and availability
of supporting infrastructural facilities including road and rail connections as well as a full- fledged township.
Evacuation of power from the proposed power plant will be done at 400 kV voltage level. Two nos.
dedicated 400kV high capacity lines are proposed for the power evacuation from the proposed plant. The
transmission will be through connectivity to nearby 400 kV substation of Madhya Pradesh Power
Transmission Company Limited (MPPTCL). A reheat steam cycle with regenerative feed heating
arrangement operating at supercritical range has been proposed. The proposed plant, consisting of one
unit of 660 MW capacity shall adopt supercritical steam parameters to achieve higher efficiency and hence
lower cost of generation and lower level of emissions. The plant cooling water system will be of closed
cycle cooling system with Natural Draft Cooling Tower. Other plant auxiliaries and accessories would be
designed as per the state-of-the-art technology and proven design to ensure safe and continuous operation
of the unit with minimum unscheduled outage. The electric generator would be 3-phase, 50 Hz, hydrogen
and water cooled, 3000 rpm machine with brush less/static type excitation system and would generate
power at the voltage level of 22 to 27kV (as per the manufacturer’s standard design) at 0.85 power factor
(lagging). The proposed electrical system would be equipped with adequately sized equipment and with
generous redundancy to ensure uninterrupted operation.
The proposed plant shall be operated with domestic coal as fuel. LDO will be used as start-up fuel, and
HFO for flame stabilization during operation below 30% load. The Annual Coal requirement for the
1X660MW Unit at 85% PLF based on the Gross Station Heat rate of 2248 kcal/ kwh and design domestic
coal for the unit of 660MW is around 3.25 Million Tonnes per Annum (MTPA).Coal shall be transported to
plant site by existing railway line from Ghoradongri and the existing railway siding. Coal will be unloaded
from the railway wagons by the Wagon Tipplers and after crushing, the same shall be transferred to coal
bunkers or stacked in stock pile. Coal shall be stored in the existing coal yard.
Estimated make-up water requirement for the proposed 1 X 660MW plant is about 1977 m³/hr. Satpura
Thermal Power station is situated near to the Tawa river reservoir of MPPGCL. Availability of water in the
reservoir is adequate to cater to the net consumptive water requirement of the new unit and also the
existing units.
For Fuel Oil unloading, existing system shall be used and for fuel oil forwarding, a new system shall be
provided for the plant. Fuel oil shall be brought to the plant for new unit by Road tankers & Rail system.
Existing storage facility shall be utilized for the new unit, which consists of one (1) no. LDO tank of capacity
of 100 kL and a FO tank of capacity 100kL and two (2) nos. HFO tanks of aggregate capacity of 2000 kL
Likewise, existing unloading pumping facilities already available at site shall be utilized for the new
proposed unit.
Estimated quantity of total ash generated from the proposed plant, firing Indian coal having an average ash
content of 45.6%, is about 198.99 TPH at TMCR. Bottom Ash shall be either disposed off to ash bund in
the form of lean slurry. The ESP dry Fly ash shall be transported to silos & simultaneously unloaded into
truck to facilitate utilization. In case of non-utilization of fly ash, it has been envisaged to dispose ash in wet
form to ash pond. Existing ash pond will be used for storage of ash.
The proposed plant will be provided with necessary equipment and systems to meet all applicable
environmental regulations. Low NOx burners have been envisaged in combination with Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR/SNCR) to reduce the NOx generation and consequent emission to meet the MoEF&CC
emission norms related to limitations of NOx content in Flue gas. High efficiency Electrostatic Precipitators
have been envisaged to limit the particulate emissions to 30 mg/Nm3. A flue gas desulphurization system
(FGD) will be installed to meet the MoEF&CC emission norms related to limitations of SO2 content in Flue
gas. Limestone based wet type FGD is envisaged for this project. The emission limits will meet S.O. 3305,
dated 7/12/2015 issued by MoEF&CC. In accordance to the quality of coal to be allocated, the chimney’s
height shall be considered between 100 m to 125 m, in line with the MoEF&CC guidelines as per GSR
593(E), dated 28/6/2018, which will help dispersion of air borne emissions over larger area and thus
reducing the impact of the power plant on ground level concentrations.
While developing the layout, maximum efforts have been made to utilize the existing facilities available in
the UTPS and to optimum use of land available within the identified land limit, land contour, wind rose
pattern of the area, direction of supplies of input, direction of road access and railway entry, operational
ease and initial investment requirement.

India’s installed capacity has increased from 1,362 MW to over 258701 MW since independence and so far,
563, 238 villages have been electrified. However, the annual per capita consumption continues to be low at
917 kWh and this is amongst the lowest in the world. The end consumers of electricity viz. households,
farmers, commercial establishments, and industries continue to grow subjected to frequent power cuts –
both scheduled and unscheduled in many parts of the country.
The Electricity Act 2003 of India entrusts the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) under the Union Ministry of
Power to prepare the National Electricity Plan for the next five years and the prospective plan for the next 10
years. The data and projections in this section are based on the latest published CEA surveys, studies &
reports.
agriculture was recorded as being the highest (17.89%) worldwide The per capita electricity consumption is
low compared to most other countries despite India having a cheaper electricity tariff.
India's electricity sector is dominated by fossil fuels, and in particular, coal, which during the 2017-18 fiscal
year produced about three-fourths of the country's electricity. However, the government is pushing for
increased investment in renewable energy. The National Electricity Plan of 2018, prepared by the
Government of India, states that the country does not need additional non-renewable power plants in the
utility sector until 2027, with the commissioning of 50,025 MW coal-based power plants under construction
and achieving 275,000 MW total installed renewable power capacity after the retirement of nearly 48,000
MW old coal-fired plants.

The long term forecast of electrical energy requirements and that of peak electric load demand for the
years 2011-12, 2016-17 & 2021- 22 as given in the 17th Electric Power Survey of India for Madhya
Pradesh System is given below.
Period Energy Requirement Peak Load
(Gwh) (MW)
2011-12 49338 8462
2016-17 70445 11772
2021-22 98987 16129
Considering utilization factors of 70%, Madhya Pradesh system requires installed capacity of 16817 MW by
year 2016-17.and 23041 MW by the year 2021-22. Thus, to meet growing power requirement, power
projects are to be planned and implemented.
India's coal-fired, oil-fired and natural gas-fired thermal power plants are inefficient and offer significant
potential for greenhouse gas (CO2) emission reduction through better technologies. India's thermal power
plants emit 50% to 120% more CO2 per kWh produced when compared to the average emissions from
their European Union (EU-27) counterparts. The central government has firmed up plans to shut down
11,000 MW of coal-based power generation capacity that are at least 25 years old and contributing more
pollution. In captive power sector, there is no retirement policy yet for the thermal power plants which are
contributing to excessive pollution due to their vintage technology and aging. India continues to have both
energy and peak deficits. Considering the sustained increase in both energy and peak demand forecast
projected by CEA in its 18th EPS, India needs to keep adding generation capacity in coming decades to
keep pace with the burgeoning demand of a growing economy. Further, after the realization of a
synchronous national grid and anticipated increase in inter regional transfer capacity in coming years,
supercritical unit of 660 MW replacing old and polluting existing units in Satpura Thermal Power Station is
well justified.
Manpower will be deployed on direct & indirect basis during construction & operation phase. During the
construction period about 3000 people will be required on temporary basis. During Operational phase,
manpower of 400 is anticipated for operation, maintenance and general requirements of the power Station.
Exact number for deployment of manpower shall be decided during detailed Engineering stage.

In a conventional thermal or steam turbine system, fuel is burned in the boiler furnace to heat water in
the boiler into hot steam. The superheated, high pressure steam is then piped to rotate the steam
turbine at fixed revolution speed, thus spinning the generator, which is connected directly with the
turbine shaft. In this way, electricity is produced and adjusted for further transmission. After driving the
turbine, the exhaust steam from the low pressure turbine is passed into the condenser where hot steam
is condensed into water to be reused in the boiler.

consumptive water requirement of the new unit and also the existing units and it will be utilized for the
complete plant water requirement. The existing raw water pump house shall be modified to cater the
additional pumping requirements of proposed plant.
Necessary Clarifiers and the DM plant will be set up for the further treatment of water for the
requirements of 1X660 MW proposed unit.
The maximum water requirement for the proposed 1X660MW unit is about 1977 m3/hr. The old 2X250
MW units, consumes 1750 m3/hr (@ 3.5 m3/mwh) while the existing units 6 to 9 are operating on open
cycle system and water requirement is about 2340 m3/hr. Thus, the net additional water requirement
will be 1977 m3/hr.

environment as the project envisages "Minimum discharge and maximum recycling concept"
3.10.2 Solid Waste and Hazardous Waste
The quantum of total ash generation in such a power station using Indian power-grade coal having high
ash content is large. Unless the ash management plan primarily aims at filling of low lying areas i.e.,
land reclamation (ideally backfilling of exploited open cast mines) and utilisation in other activities like
use in cement plants, as road sub-base, manufacture of bricks/tiles etc., dumping of ash on ground may
lead to noticeable change in the topography and aesthetics of the area where the ash would be
dumped.
Silt, after separation from water pre-treatment plant waste is generally not unmanageably large in
quantity and disposal of the same does not invite concern like ash. Besides, this silt has very good
acceptability to local brick manufacturers.
Dry Fly Ash and Furnace Bottom Ash
Among atmospheric pollutants, fly ash emitted by thermal power station is considered very important. It
is usually deposited on the surface of flora, soil and water bodies, and may be carried to distant areas
depending on the meteorological conditions. Plants are highly susceptible to this pollutant, since it
reduces the visibility in the atmosphere, absorbs and scatters light, thus reducing the quantum of solar
radiation reaching the plants.
Fly ash comprises finely divided very small particles of ash, entrapped in the flue gases arising from
combustion of coal during power generation. The size of fly- lash particles may vary from 0.02 µm to
over 300 µm. Continuous fly-ash fall on the water bodies tends to increase alkalinity of water which
may alter the optimal pH values of the aquatic environment for many kinds of sensitive species of
phytoplanktons and zooplanktons and fishes. There is a high probability for their ultimate replacement
with salt tolerant, more resistant species in the water medium.
Fly ash generated is proposed to be handled in dry form. Bottom ash will be extracted and disposed off
by slurry disposal system. Ash utilization will be as per MOEF guidelines. It is proposed to use dry fly
ash for manufacture of cement, bricks & building material etc. Excess fly ash will be disposed off in lean
slurry wet disposal system to ash disposal area.
Noise pollution is another front needs to be taken care of. Many equipment like compressor, turbine-
generator, crusher etc. generate noise well above the threshold value of 90 dB(A). All general
equipment will be procured with built-in noise abatement measures to restrict noise level not exceeding
85 dB(A) when measured 1 m away from the source surface.
For equipment where this cannot be achieved, the noise generating equipment will be housed in
suitable acoustic cover and building so that the noise level outside the building will be 75 dB (A). The
aspect of noise in such cases will be dealt from the point of view of occupational safety and health.
Personnel working in those areas will be provided with noise plugs/noise muffs to protect themselves
from the evils of prolonged exposure to high noise levels.
The entire plant will be so procured/installed so that the resultant noise level within the plant premises
remains within 75 dB(A) during day time and 70 dB(A) during night time respectively.
Incidentally, carefully planned green belt helps in attenuating noise from the source.

The above data reveals that the medical facilities in the Rural Part of the Study Area are not satisfactory
and need improvement.
5. PLANNING BRIEF
5.1 PLANNING CONCEPT
The project is planned to supplement availability of power in Madhya Pradesh grid after decommissioning
of 5 x 62.5 MW old units. Considerable number of old coal fired power plant of MPPGCL have completed
their useful/ economic life and are not able to meet their rated output/ efficiency due to various reasons.
Apart of such capacity loss shall be compensated with this project. Moreover, any surplus power may be
diverted to power deficit state.
To aim with this MPPGCL proposes to set up 1x660MW Coal based Super critical Unit in the existing
premises of STPS Sarni, Dist. Betul, Madhya Pradesh. The proposed unit shall be setup over dismantled 5
x 62.5 MW MPPGCL thermal power unit.
Construction material: Construction materials include structural steel, corrugated sheets, bricks; sand,
cement, stone chips, etc. are available in the area and will be sourced from Satpura.
6. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE
6.1 INDUSTRIAL AREA
The land requirement thus works out to 33 ha for 660 MW. Existing Ash Dyke area (111 Ha) is adequate for
ash utilization plan for proposed project also, as per MoEF&CC guidelines are implemented by MPPGCL.
Proposed Water intake system is about 3 km from plant. For the ongoing scheme of 1330MW total
capacity; pipelines are being laid for conveying water. As the same corridor will be used for water
conveying system of the proposed extension unit, no additional land is required for the purpose.
Breakup of land requirement is summarized as follows in Table 6.1.
6.5 CONNECTIVITY
Existing connectivity infrastructure present is sufficient to cater to the proposed expansion of this project.
Existing internal roads are well maintained and ensures connectivity to all locations within and outside the
plant.
a) Regeneration waste from DM Plant and CPU will be collected in Neutralizing pit After Neutralizing,
the water will be pumped to CMB.
b) Boiler blow down collected in separate sump will be pumped to CMB.
c) Boiler & ESP area wash water will be collected in pre settling pit.
d) CHP-DS system effluent & CHP run off will be collected in twin selling pond. After separating the
coal particles water will be collected in pre settling pit.
e) Coal mill area drain will be collected in CMOWS and then pumped to PHOWS. Oily waste from
Powerhouse area &transformer area will be also sent to PHOWS. From the PHOWS the effluent
will be pumped to TPI separator. After separating oil, recovered water will be sent to pre settling pit.
f) Drain from FO pump house pit will be pumped through API separator will be collected in sump.
This will be further pumped through TPI separator. Water collected will be pumped to pre-settling
pit.
g) Pre settling pit over flow will be collected in sump and pumped to tube settling system. The treated
water will be then pumped to CMB .will be used for ash slurry sump, CHP dust suppression
horticulture/ greenbelt irrigation.
h) Water collected in CMB will be monitored and after pH, FW and turbidity correction water will be
used for ash slurry sump, CHP dust suppression horticulture/ greenbelt irrigation.
i) Cooling Tower blow down and water from AHP sealing will be sent to AHP sump. Ash silo area
drain and waste from side stream filter will be collected in separate sumps. These will be further
pumped to AHP sump for utilization for Ash slurry making and disposal to ash pond.
j) Cooling Tower basin sludge disposal to ash slurry plant for zero discharge as per statutory norms.
It is, therefore, concluded that the proposed project will not have any adverse impact on water environment
as the project envisages "Minimum discharge and maximum recycling concept"
7. REHABILITATION AND
RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN
7.1 POLICY TO BE ADOPTED (CENTRAL/STATE) IN RESPECT OF
THE PROJECT AFFECTED PERSONS INCLUDING HOME OUSTEES,
LAND OUSTEES AND LANDLESS LABOUR
The proposed project will be located within the premises of the existing power plant complex, adjacent to
the existing operational plants. Therefore, implementation of the project does not involve, land acquisition,
rehabilitation or resettlement.
The project will not disturb/relocate any village hence no resettlement would be required. Thus no adverse
impact is anticipated.
9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL
9.1 FINANCIAL AND SOCIAL BENEFITS
The proposed expansion of this project would have multifaceted benefits. It would create indirect
employment options for the local unskilled labourers thereby lead to their economic upliftment. This
economic development would help in improving the quality of life for all these workers. To cater to the
needs of the additional workforce several ancillary support infrastructure would crop up mainly in the form
of transportation facilities and food catering services. The manufactured electricity will be provided to meet
the need of growing electricity demand of the state thus bringing financial benefits to the state. Thus the
overall economic impact of the project is far reaching and would involve a huge stratum of the society. This
is a Carbon Neutral project, hence there will be no impact on GHG emission.
