Electricity supply from India's Adani plant resumes over 12hrs of disruption

The power supply from India's Adani power plant resumed to the national grid early Thursday after over 12 hours of disruption. 

The power supply was restarted at 3:43am, according to an official statement issued by the Power Grid Company of Bangladesh Limited (PGCB).

The power generation capacity from the plant was 607MW at 9am in the morning.

Power supply from the Adani plant was abruptly halted after a transmission line in Bangladesh tripped at around 2:46pm on Wednesday which resulted in a temporary disruption in the electricity supply from the thermal power plant located in Jharkhand's Godda area of India. 

However, the engineers and technicians of the PGCB swiftly spotted the issue and were able to restore the transmission line at 3:06pm on Wednesday. 

Adani authorities resumed supplying power to the national grid at 3:43am, following the completion of all necessary technical preparations at the power plant. 

According to PGCB sources, the transmission line at Rohanpur in Chapainawabganj was broken due to the storm. Because of this, the supply to Adani's power plant was halted, this resulted in maximum load shedding of 3,419 megawatts at 4pm on Wednesday. 

Power department sources say that Adani's power plant has two units of 800 MW each. Power started coming from the first unit last March. 

They provide an average of 740MW of electricity per day.
