===Location===
Bokaro Thermal Power Station B is located at {{coord|23|47|07|N|85|52|48|E|type:landmark|display=inline}}.

===Area overview===
Bokaro district consists of undulating uplands on the [[Chota Nagpur Plateau]] with the [[Damodar River]] cutting a valley right across. It has an average elevation of {{convert|200 to 540|m}} above mean sea level. The highest hill, Lugu Pahar, rises to a height of {{convert|1070| m}}. The [[East Bokaro Coalfield]] located in the [[Bermo]]-[[Phusro]] area and small intrusions of [[Jharia Coalfield]] make Bokaro a coal rich district. In 1965, one of the largest steel manufacturing units in the country, [[Bokaro Steel Plant]], operated by [[Steel Authority of India Limited]], was set-up at [[Bokaro Steel City]]. The [[Damodar Valley Corporation]] established its first thermal power station at [[Bokaro (Thermal)]]. The {{convert|5|km}} long, {{convert|55|m}} high earthfill dam with composite masonry cum concrete spillway, [[Tenughat Dam]], across the Damodar River, is operated by the Government of Jharkhand. The average annual rainfall is {{convert|1291.2|mm}}. The soil is generally infertile and agriculture is mostly rain-fed.<ref>{{cite web|url = https://censusindia.gov.in/2011census/dchb/DCHB_A/20/2010_PART_A_DCHB_BOKARO.pdf | title = District Census Handbook Bokaro 2011 |work= Physical features, Mines and minerals, Indistires, p 7-8 |publisher = Directorate of Census Operations | access-date = 30 May 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url =http://www.india9.com/i9show/Tenughat-Dam-49898.htm | title = Tenughat Dam |publisher =india9 | access-date = 30 May 2021 }}</ref>

==Power plant==

Bokaro Thermal Power Station B has an installed capacity of 630 MW. The First unit was commissioned in March 1986. The station is located on the banks of the [[Konar River]] near Bokaro ‘A’ Thermal Power Station. Entire power generated by the plant is supplied to [[Damodar Valley Corporation|DVC]] network.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dvcindia.org/Bokarob.htm |title=Bokaro Thermal Power Station B |publisher=Damodar Valley Corporation. |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720015147/http://www.dvcindia.org/Bokarob.htm |archivedate=2011-07-20 }}</ref>

The now defunct Bokaro ‘A’ Thermal Power Station which was the first thermal power plant of the DVC system (commissioned in 1963), was scrapped. In place of which, one 500 MW unit has been commissioned by [[BHEL]] in May 2016.
