     The reason behind the presence of coal-based thermal power plants to be near the seashore is, that the water availability is in abundance which is essentially required as the coal-based thermal power plants function over a water boiler which needs water to form steam which is converted into the thermal energy.

     All the thermal power plant with the same reason and minimum cost efficiency are found to be located near seashore as the water is needed to cool down the plant and also used in the mechanism.
