The waste heat is used to heat up the water in a boiler which supplies the steam to a multi-stage turbine which provides the drive to a generator. The induced draught fan will exaust the gas to the atmosphere through a chimney. The other part is the transmission which will be connected to the existing grid. The 30MW that will be generated will solve in a small way some of the load shedding and blackouts that presently exist in Goa. Environmentally there will be no pollution and emission of gases as there will be no fuel burnt. So why do the people of Amona object. It is high time that the communication between the Electricity department and people of Amona is improved so that the people understand the advantages of this new proposal.
