Barapukuria power plant halts trial production
Kongkon Karmaker, Dinajpur
Barapukuria coal-fired power plant stopped operation on Tuesday night only 12 days after it went into trial production. Sources at the plant however claimed its operation was suspended due to snapping of the national grid with it. One of the two units of plant was supplying 110-125 MW of power since February 16. The 250 MW Chinese built plant's two units have equal production capacity. The fate of one unit is uncertain due to numerous technical faults. Power Development Board officials yesterday said the plant would resume production 'tonight' (Wednesday night).
