Science and Technology Minister Architect Yeafesh Osman on Saturday announced that the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP) will be inaugurated in September.
The minister, at a press conference, said Russian President Vladimir Putin may join the inaugural program virtually.
“The country now has 100% electricity coverage. But sometimes the demand increases. People suffer when there is a power shortage. We also suffer from this. Bangladesh was in trouble due to the global war situation. But we have largely overcome that problem.”
He also expressed hope that such problems will not increase in the future.
Earlier Yeafesh Osman inaugurated the Bangladesh Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-developed smartphone app Solectricity (Surjo Bidyut) for solar users.
