The coal for the power plant is sourced from Jagannath Mines of Mahanadi Coalfields Limited. Source of water for the plant is from Brahmani River.This power plant has been ranked among the best power plants in the country despite being the oldest plant in the state. It has consistently topped the charts in NTPC for the last 4 years and was also the nation's top power plant (by PLF) in 2015-16.

For the last few years it has almost constantly topped the charts of NTPC in terms of PLF of electricity generation. It has even held the first position in the country for considerable intervals numerous times. Despite being an old take-over plant, its performance leaves newer plants of both NTPC and private sector behind. The power plant officials attribute this consistency to the work culture of the township including a sense of ownership in the plant. The transformation from about 20-30% PLF during its take-over in 1995 to an average of 92-95% PLF as of 2016 has baffled experts throughout the country and foreign alike. A book is in the process of being written to chronicle the events which led to this metamorphosis.
