Rampal power plant hits new monthly output record
Rampal power plant in Bagerhat, has set a national record in electricity generation as the plant produced 700 million units of electricity in November this year, marking the highest monthly output by any power plant in Bangladesh.
Anwarul Azim, Deputy General Manager of Bangladesh-India Friendship Power Company Limited (BIFPCL) public relation department, said the Maitree Super Thermal Power Plant (MSTPP) supplied electricity to the national grid throughout the month, contributing around 11.5 percent of the country’s total power demand.
This has further strengthened its position as one of the country’s top electricity producers.
He also said that the milestone reflects the plant’s high industrial capacity, efficient coal and resource management and effective financial and operational planning.
The plant has been regularly supplying about 8 percent of the nation’s electricity needs.
Producing 700 million units in November has set a new benchmark for Bangladesh’s power sector, marking the highest single-month generation since the plant began operations, said Anwarul Azim.
He also expressed hope that this strong generation performance will continue in the coming months, reports UNB.
