Answer / deepali wankhede

Thermal power plant is a power plant which generates power
with coal and water whereas captive power plant is the
status of power plant. Power generated by any type of fuel
such as coal,naptha,furnace oil but if 51% of the generated
power is consumed by the generator itself( captive used)
then that is a captive power plant. There are much more
requirements for a plant tobe said as Captive Power plant
but this much is suffcient to know the difference
