Solution

Thermal power plant:

  1. A power production facility that generates electricity by burning fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, and others is called a thermal power plant.
  2. It accomplishes this by harnessing the chemical energy held in the fuel, burning it, and transferring it to mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is used to power an electrical generator, which produces electricity.
  3. Those thermal power plants are built on a big scale to run continuously for years.

Therefore, the thermal power plant uses coal to generate electricity.
