Govt approves 10 new power plants.

[Rajaraja Chola]

We have to worry more about the offenders in our own vicinity and not America, a far away land. Here China and India are the two largest producers of CO2, which has been destroying our ecology including Sunderbans. Now, India is planning to build so many coal-fired power plants that it will cause us suffer from an ecological disaster. However, India itself will suffer equally.

Cheerlead. Its built by Bangladesh you dufos. An Indian company builds the plant, not Indian Govt.

When someone is biased, what they find everywhere is biased.

They have built Coal and Gas power Plant in record 18 Months in Pakistan with unit cost around 8Min -10Max PKR. Currently Govt has ordered many power plants to change to gas based. Oil based plants were approved by PPP in 90s. which screwed us.

Islamabad: Pakistan which currently produces 60pc of its electricity from furnace oil, will see it being gradually replaced by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as a fuel of choice for power generation purposes.

A proposal has been floated which would see power plants with 40pc efficiency being dropped and more efficient ones be established to replace them under the IPP mechanism. This will result in lower cost electricity being provided to end consumers.

The first unit has been made operational in a record period of 21 months'

GE tested their turbine with over 62% efficiency , NESPAK and NPPMCL both companies had worked hard to achieve this milestone ..



That is why in Pakistan we are discarding gradually. Issue we are discussing here is Their Govt has approved now to build oil based power plants. I will never ever allow our govt to build these expensive ones. when we have cheaper alternatives. So here we are talking corruption.
@Nilgiri



You guys should go for coal based or LNG based. A you guys are already building LNG terminal. at 19taka Your govt gonna rip you off. Even Solar is better than this price. better govt should encourage residential houses to go for solar. it will still b cheaper than 19 Taka.

the proposal was put forward 5 years ago when PML N govt took over, since than not a single diesel/furnace oil plant has been changed over, as there is no gas, and the only functioning private LNG port is having hiccups as only govt is allow to import gas(private sector is not allowed) and govt is having issue with multiple sellers

Another level of ruling awami league looting in the name of power plant is underway. These same banks were looted dry by Awami league and then tax payers money were poured in as "capital replenishment". Now, awami looters will loot fresh money from tax payers in the name of "power plant".

If you are such a rich that you do not need a bank loan, then what are you waiting for to build the next power plants without loan. Why the Jamaatis are so jealous when investors get support from the banks?

Cheerlead. Its built by Bangladesh you dufos. An Indian company builds the plant, not Indian Govt.

You should have read post #18 before you did this bla bla bla. India is building 243,000 mW of coal-fired power plants that will destroy us.

If your argument is "vicinity", whole world already becomes one w.r.t Bangladesh once you go past your borders given permeation and diffusion of pollutants to a roughly homogeneous level worldwide....since its really those effects that supposedly create things like ocean acidity + water level rise that have been argued to be detrimental to mangroves.

US and Europe are still the largest net contributor of accumulated CO2 and greenhouse gases, then comes China....and then comes Russia, India and rest of Asia.

That we will build and not a jack of ur concerns. If you are really concerned about Co2 levels go and start a thread against China and rant against them.

China is in the north of Himalaya. But, India being in our neighborhood creating havoc with its chimneys spewing poisonous CO2. On top of this India wants to build up an additional coal-fired capacity of 241,000 mW of power. Indian smog will destroy everything we love in BD.

We better stop caring and start building many coal fired power plants to meet our demand as well. Everyone is ruining environment then we better do our share of damage as well instead of whining.

Inefficient power plants escalate cost, fuel wastage
Staff Correspondent | Published: 02:09, Aug 20,2017

The average efficiency of the power generation units established in public and private sectors is 8-13 per cent less than the standard causing escalation of power generation cost and wastage of fuel.
Energy expert M Tamim on Saturday revealed the findings at a seminar hosted by Forum for Energy Reporters Bangladesh at Bidyut Bhaban on Energy Tariff and National Economy.

State minister for power, energy and mineral resources Nasrul Hamid, Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission member Md Mizanur Rahman, Power Development Board chairman Khaled Mahmud, power cell director general Mohammad Hossain, Consumers Association of Bangladesh adviser M Shamsul Alam and Centre for Policy Dialogue research director Khondaker Golam Moazzem addressed the seminar.

In his keynote, Tamim, also former interim government chief adviser Fakhruddin Ahmed’s special assistant, showed that the average efficiency of the power plants in public sector was 31.6 per cent against 45 per cent expected efficiency mainly because of age-old power plants matured for phasing out one or two decades ago.

The average efficiency of the power plants of independent power producers was 41.6 per cent against 50 per cent expected efficiency and the rental suppliers was 36.1 per cent against 40 per cent expected efficiency, he said.

Neither the state minister nor the power board chairman replied to Tamim’s question why inefficient power plants were allowed to be installed by the private companies.
Tamim said that the inefficient power generation units were wasting fuel and escalating the average power generation cost.

He also said that the captive power generators installed at industrial
units were running at 30 per cent efficiency against 40 per cent expected efficiency.
The speakers discussed the potential impacts of large-scale import of Liquefied Natural Gas to meet the country’s growing demand.

Energy commission member Mizanur Rahman said that price hikes in supplied natural gas for CNG filling stations and industrial units to accommodate expensive LNG were not justified as their current prices now had parity with the import cost of LNG.

The gas price should be increased for power stations as the current price was even less than half of the current supply cost, $2.20 per thousand cubic feet, he said, adding that the blended supply cost of natural gas would be increased by 54 per cent if 500 million cubic feet gas supply came from imported LNG.

The government plans to import LNG to increase gas supplies by 1,000mmcfd by 2018.
In his keynote, Tamim also suggested that measures should be taken to improve power supply infrastructures of the Rural Electrification Board to reduce system loss to 9 per cent from 11 per cent as the board supplied 40 per cent of total electricity and caused a huge loss in power distribution.

I wonder, where is that international spokesman Anu Muhammed? Why does not he criticize the Indian coal-fired plants that may have already destroyed our ecology? Now, India is in the process of building another 421,000 mW capacity coal-fired plants with a total impunity. Our Rampal is only a 1320 mW plant.
