The government committee investigating the national electricity grid collapse on November 1 submitted its final report to State Minister for Power Nasrul Hamid yesterday.
“We submitted our final report today [Wednesday]. The tripping of Bheramara grid sub-station mainly caused the collapse of the entire national grid,” said Mohammad Hossain, director-general of the government’s Power Cell and member secretary of the investigation committee, while talking to the Dhaka Tribune yesterday.
Receiving the report, the state minister told reporters that the reason behind the grid failure would be made public in a day or two.
The eight-member committee, formed by the Power Ministry to look into the countrywide power outage and comprising one former and seven current government high officials, finished the investigation on November 12 by visiting the Ghorashal power plant in Narshingdi.
