The production cost of hydroelectricity is cheaper than the electricity produced in thermal power station. Explain why?

Dear Student ,
To produce thermal power we need large amount of coal each day .Now to bring up the coal from beneath the ground , to clean it , transport cost to the thermal power station makes it costlier .
But in case of hydro electricity there is low cost as water is available in the dams and there is production cost of water etc .

I hope this helps you .
Regards
