Power plants in Bangladesh produced 14,932 megawatts of electricity on Wednesday — a new record, according to the Power Development Board.
The highest electricity generation in the history of the country was recorded at 9pm on Wednesday. Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) Mentioned this information on their Facebook page on Wednesday night.
State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid mentioned this information on his verified Facebook page and wrote: "Honorable Prime Minister's order is to ensure comfort in the lives of common people at any cost. The employees of our power department are working tirelessly to fulfil this goal, thanks and congratulations to all."
The previous record of single-day power generation was just a day ago on Tuesday when a 14,800MW of electricity was produced.
According to the PDB, this new production record is the result of maximum effort to maintain normal power generation and supply during Ramadan and summer.
Currently, the power generation capacity of the country is more than 26,000MW.
