Detailed Solution

Bongaigaon and Namrup are two thermal power plants in Assam.
Geography, fuel and water availability, proximity to population centres, and accessibility are significant factors in deciding where to locate a thermal power plant. Thermal power plants use non-renewable fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas to generate thermal electricity. Most of the time, heat is converted to steam in a boiler, and the steam is utilised to drive a steam turbine that is connected to a generator. Thermal power plants provide the most electricity to India's national power system. There are three kinds of thermal power plants in India, with a total installed capacity of 221,802.59 MW.
