-10,000-12,000 MW from coal by 2030---these are the current ones (about 6,000MW), where are the other 5,000-6,000MW coming from ??

The government may scrap one or two other power plant projects if the construction does not make desired progress, said an official of the ministry.
One unit of the 1,320MW power plant in Payra is generating electricity. It is a Bangladesh-China joint venture. Physical work is making progress for the 1,320MW plant in Rampal, 1,224MW in Chattogram, 307MW in Barguna, and 1,200MW in Matarbari and 1,200MW in Cox's Bazar.
Payra has been contributing 600MW to the national grid every day for the last few months, the state minister said.
Before Payra, an 525MW plant in Barapukuria, Dinajpur, was the country's only coal-fired plant. The Matarbari plant is set to start producing electricity in 2023.
