Geographical distribution characteristics of thermal power plants: mainly distributed in northern China, and the distribution of power plants is said to be "South-to-North Water Transfer Project". Thermal power is mainly distributed in coal-rich provinces in northern China, and thermal power plants are all located near coal-producing areas.
The reason is that the thermal energy of coal is mainly converted into electric energy, which consumes a lot of coal. Therefore, it is only distributed in coal production bases to reduce unnecessary transportation costs and improve the economic benefits of thermal power plants.
I hope I can help you! !
