The existence of Mejhia Thermal Power Plant within the district and other thermal power plants in Durgapur and Kolaghat can be a boon for the proposed industries for Bankura, as transmission-loss can be minimum due to proximity of the district to these power plants. The electrical grid in the district is well-knit with the existence of two numbers of 132/33/11 KV sub-station and 24 numbers of 33/11 KV sub-station. On the otherhand, per capita domestic consumption of electricity is also very low compared to the adjoining districts. Thus abundance of electricity can be used for setting up of industries in the entire district.
In north Bankura we have an augmentation of 2 X 500 MW in the Mejhia Thermal Power Plant which is going to be an added advantage for the new industries coming up in this part of the district.
