Interim government scrapping 39 power plant projects approved without bidding

The interim government is set to cancel the approvals for 39 power plants under the Quick Enhancement of Electricity and Energy Rapid Supply Enhancement (Special Provisions) Act, 2010.

Of these, 34 were planned to generate electricity using solar energy, and the remaining five were gas-based.

Muhammad Yunus’s administration is also in the process of repealing the law that allowed these projects.

Coal power plants, finally seen as a positive for the economy of Bangladesh!!!

Banshkhali Power Plant’s full capacity eases power woes amid Adani standoff

The Power Development Board (PDB) believes the efficient operation of this plant, known for its cost-effective energy production, will substantially lower the average electricity generation costs.

According to the National Load Dispatch Centre (NLDC), the plant delivered 660 MW from its first unit and 659 MW from its second unit on Thursday (28 November) starting at 10am - marking a critical milestone in stabilising the country's power grid.

Located in the Gondamara area of Banshkhali, Chattogram, the plant is lauded as the most cost-efficient coal-based power facility in Bangladesh, with a per-unit fuel cost of approximately Tk7.56.

In comparison, producing the same amount of electricity with furnace oil would cost nearly Tk18 per unit.

The plant has a monthly capacity to generate around 95 crore units of electricity, saving the government approximately Tk950 crore when compared to furnace oil production.

This economic advantage comes as a relief amid challenges faced by the interim government.

In addition, the BNP leader has also urged the interim government to expedite necessary reforms to establish a roadmap for swift elections.

Emphasising that national unity is the “biggest need” of the hour, the secretary general said: “During the meeting with the chief advisor, we told him that what we need most is an election. This is very urgent.”

"The chief advisor has listened to our statements carefully. We believe that he will take these issues seriously and take action."

Well why sunning myself on holiday, a couple of people have messaged me to ask if we are now short of directors and therefore may go into suspension…

The answer is NO we are not short of directors and we will not be doing so because of Gary standing down as one, so for anyone who even intimates this and spreading false rumours, they really should go and do their own research onto what the legalities are on AIM stocks regarding directors!!!

Right, back to the beach to chill lol

At last, a group that talk sense !!
