Bangladesh's power generation increased further, setting a new record on Tuesday with the production reaching 15,626MW at 9pm, as the country swelters through a heatwave.
According to a statement from the Power Division, the country set the new record surpassing the previous production of 15,604MW of electricity at 9pm on Monday.
Officials at the state-owned Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) said the resting of operations of the diesel-fired and more gas-fired power plants attributed to this new record.
They also said import of power from the Adani Power-built thermal power plant for Bangladesh also played a role in this regard.
The country recently started importing about 759MW of electricity from Indian Adani Group's Godda power plant in Jharkhand.
They said the cost of the imported power from the Adani Group's power plant in Godda in the Indian state of Jharkhand has not been settled yet, but the tariff of electricity from the Adani Group might be above Tk14 per unit while the average production cost is below Tk 7.
Now Bangladesh's installed grid power generation capacity is over 25,000 MW.
