The cost of production of electricity from a thermal power plant is more than that of the hydroelectricity so the later is more used if both the source are available.

Does steel have a low thermal conductivity?
It depends on what you compare it to. Steel has a thermal conductivity about 100 times greater than insulation, but is less conductive than materials such as ceramic or copper.
Is a diamond a thermal and electrical conductor?
A diamond is a superior conductor of thermal energy (heat). It's better at this than anything else we know of. But diamond is a poor conductor of electricity. It's actually a pretty good insulator.
Can electric energy produce more thermal energy?
It can be converted to thermal energy, but you can't get more energy out than you put in. The two different forms of energy must be equivalent, unless there is another source of thermal energy
Which is a better thermal conducter wood or silver?
Well, silver is more conductive when it comes to heat. As a matter of fact, it's the most conductive out of any of the base metals. As a side note, it also conducts electricity better than gold, although gold is used more often because it's very resistant to corrosion.
What has the highest thermal conductivity?
Diamond is the best thermal conductor around room temperature. Diamond has a thermal conductivity of more than 2,000 watts per meter per Kelvin, which is five times higher than the best metals such as copper.
Why is hydroelectricity better than normal electricity?
hydro electricity is better than normal electricity because it is cheaper.
HOW Does silicon tetrachloride conduct electricity?
it conductz it bettter than hydroelectricity
How much would you save on hydroelectricity?
A difficult question because a company that makes hydro electricity would not sell it any cheaper than conventional electricity. It needs oil to be a lot more expensive than the present glut price for hydro electricity to be economic.
What will happen in the year 2300?
That cannot be said with certainty. In the year 2300, there may be more buildings than now. A lot of electricity will come from hydroelectricity or geothermal energy.
What does hydrelectricity do?
Hydroelectricity does what all electricity does. Hydro refers to the source of the electricity (generated by moving water) rather than the nature of the electric current itself.
How do Nigerians get their electricity?
100 percent of the electricity generated in Niger is produced in thermal generating plants using fossil fuels.
What are some ethics about hydroelectricity?
its proven that it is more harmful to not use it than to use it
How many rupees is electricity per unit?
Cost per unit of electricity depends the type of generation used. ie:- thermal hydel, nuclear etc. hydel electricity is cheaper and now a days it cost less than Rs.10 per unit in India. whereas thermal electricity cost less than Rs. 20 per unit
Does steel have a low thermal conductivity?
It depends on what you compare it to. Steel has a thermal conductivity about 100 times greater than insulation, but is less conductive than materials such as ceramic or copper.
Largest size thermal power plant in India?
More than 65% of India's electricity generation capacity comes from thermal power plants, with about 85% of the country's thermal power generation being coal-based. The 10 largest thermal power stations operating in India are all coal-fired, with seven of them owned and operated by state-run National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC).
Is some electricity more efficient than others?
Since electricity is energy, it has only one type. Therefore, some electricity cannot be more efficient than others because all electricity is the same. However, some devices use that same electricity more efficiently than others.
Which produces more electricity lemons or oranges?
The lemon does produce more electricity than oranges. BUT in rare cases an orange can produce more electricity than a lemon. But overall its the lemon that's the best.
