The country has started receiving approximately 925 megawatts (MW) of electricity from India’s Adani power plant since Monday evening (April 27), according to officials.
Sources from the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) said that the second unit of the Adani power plant began synchronizing with the national grid at 7:47 PM on Monday. The unit is currently supplying around 925 MW of electricity.
BPDB Chairman Engineer Md Rezaul Karim said that power supply from the plant will gradually increase.
He added, the additional electricity is helping boost overall generation and reduce load shedding across the country.
BPDB officials also noted that starting April 28, an additional 600 MW of electricity each is expected to be added to the national grid from SS Power and RNPL.
RNPL is a joint venture between Bangladesh’s Rural Power Company Limited (RPCL) and China’s state-owned Norinco. The company is scheduled to begin generating 600 MW of electricity from April 28.
