Additional Secretary of Energy Ministry Tapash Kumar Roy visited the
two under construction 145 mw Quick Rental Power Plant at Taltala under
Nawapara of Jessore district Friday.
Sources said that the
present government called tender to supply electricity to the national
grid to cope with the continuous electric crisis of the country.
According to tender Quantum of Otobi started construction of 105 mw
power plant at a cost of Tk 6 billion on 4 acres of land in July 5,
2010 at Taltal of Nawapara. But public suffering has hardly lessened as
the project remained incomplete. The officials of the company, however,
expect they will be able to supply electricity to the national grid by
next June.
A power plant source said that the company has
already constructed tank capacity with 7.5 million litres of furnace
oil and that 6 thousand tonnes furnace oil will be required to run the
plant per month.
The source also said that technicians and
engineers were yet to come from China. So the production could not be
possible in time. But they are hopeful to supply electricity to the
national grid by June.
On the other hand, Khanjahan Ali Power
Company is establishing a 40 mw Quick Power Plant at a cost of Tk 2
billion on 3 acres of land adjacent the Nawapara Pouroshava. The
construction work has been started from August 10, 2010, and it will be
completed within two weeks. It will add 40 mw electricity to the
national grid.
Nitish Mondol, an official of Khanjahan Ali Power
Plant, informed that the main machine has been brought from Finland and
a furnace oil tanker capacity 26 thousand tonnes has been constructed.
