State-owned power giant NTPC has commissioned India's first air-cooled condenser at North Karanpura super critical thermal plant in Jharkhand.
This project has been envisaged with Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) which has almost 1/3rd water footprint as compared to a conventional Water Cooled Condenser (WCC).
This would result in a water saving of around 30.5 million cubic meters annually, enough to meet the needs of around 1.5 million people in the region.
The North Karanpura plant will have a total capacity of 1980 MW, 3 Units of 660 MW each.
