Generally, the Central Electricity Authority recommends a maximum consumption of three cubic meters of water for generating one megawatt of electricity per hour in thermal power plants, but due to the special measures taken by the Singareni Thermal Power Station and the technology used, it consumes only 2.8 cubic meters of water which is less than the prescribed standards for the production of megawatt electricity in an hour, he said.
