Bangladesh faced increasing load-shedding as technical glitches forced the shutdown of two 800 MW units at Adani Power’s 1,600 MW coal-fired plant in Jharkhand.
According to official sources, electricity generation from Unit-1 was halted on April 1, while Unit-2 ceased production in the early hours of Friday.
The unit-2 has been repaired and it started power generation on Saturday evening after 17 hours.
Power Grid Bangladesh PLC informed this through a press release.
Bangladesh has been importing electricity from Adani’s Jharkhand Power Plant since April 2023 under a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA).
