How to Calculate the Coal Quantity Used in a Power Plant
We take a coal price of around 65 $ / Ton. The cost of coal consumed by 100 MW power plant is (53.8 x 65) 3497 $ /hr. A 100 MW unit produces 100,000 units of electricity. So the cost of coal per unit of electricity is (3497/100,000) 3.5 cents per unit. The cost of fuel is the main factor in the cost of a unit of electricity.
