Pressure on govt to allow operation, risking capacity payment30 Mar 2025 10:12
Couple of Japanese built gas fired plants ready to go but no gas to run them!!…….Fouzel stalling sign off as the contracts formed under Hasina involve capacity payments even if they don’t produce energy🙄
Once again you can see why the country is being corralled into home produced coal…….
State corporation Petrobangla, which was 'made to commit' supplying natural gas to the gas-fired power plants, doesn't have sufficient gas to run the existing gas-fired power plants, says a senior Petrobangla official.
Petrobangla is currently being able to supply only half of the volume of gas required for feeding the gas-guzzling power plants, to the tune of around 1,034 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd), against a total requirement of 2,420 mmcfd, according to official data as on March 24, 2025.
