The fuel is transported through NTPC's own merry-go-round rail transportation system.
The water for the plant is sourced through a 16-km pipeline from the right bank of Hasdeo barrage canal, from Hardivishal village.
NTPC-Sipat project has been set up in nascent vegetation.
With a view to conserving the environment, the project has 275 meter high chimneys and higher efficiency static precipitators (ESPs).
A 50-meter Green Belt is being developed around the projects. Saplings have been planted in nearby villages, on both sides of the state highway, and on the approach roads.
For all construction activities, only ash bricks are used. The reuse of treated effluent for maintaining zero discharge has been put in place.
The ash ponds have been designed to ensure water cover to avoid fugitive dust. The ash water recirculation system has also been put into places to reuse the water and reduce water consumption.
As per a MoU of July 2009, Chhattisgarh will get 50 percent of the generated power. The rest will be shared by other states: Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Goa, Daman and Diu and Dadar and Nagar Haveli.
