Near any active heat source, like a volcano, geyser, spring, etc..
4x1000MW coal-fired ultra-supercritical power plant at Yuhuan in China is supposed to be the world's bidgest coal power plant. Plant is located on the coast of East China's Zhejiang Province. The last (4th) unit of plant began commercial operation in November 2007. The plant run at about 45% thermal efficiency. Yuhuan Units are supposed to be the most cleanest, most efficient and most advanced ultra super critical units of today's world." Vivek Asthana Panki Thermal Power Station, Kanpur
Enron is largest gas power plant in world.
yes it is used world wide
The first country in the world to use thermal energy for large scale power generation was New Zealand.

the thermal power stations are not only located in India, they are located in the part of the world where there are coal reserves, India has large coal reserve located in various parts of M.P,C.G,JHARKHAND & KOLKATA,this is the reason behind the location of thermal power stations in India,as these stations use coal for the generation of electricity
Coal-fired thermal power plants are presently mainstream among newly-established thermal power plants in Japan. Improvement of operational characteristics with functions of following load demands and the reinforcement of environmental control measures are also required for coal fired thermal power plants. Hitachi, Ltd. has completed a unit that meets such requirements: the No. 1 unit of the Shinchi Power Station (power generation capacity: 1000 MW) of Soma Kyodo Power Company, Ltd. The unit has the world's largest production capacity as a sliding pressure operation coal-fired thermal power plant. High-efficiency combustion technology is used in the large-capacity sliding pressure operation of boiler unit, and state-of-the-art technology is incorporated in the high efficiency steam turbine. The unit was designed to be capable of advanced load operations, utilizing the most up-to-date environmental equipment. Trial operations carried out for about ten months starting in September 1993 confirmed that various design performance values were adequately satisfied. In July 1994, the world's largest sliding pressure coal-fired thermal power plant began commercial operation.
Canada's first Nuclear Power Plant was the NPD Power Plant built in Rolphton Ontario, and began operation in 1962. It was the first of the CANDU power plant design which is now used around the world.
