Rampal power plant resumes production after 5 days

After five days, Rampal power plant today resumed production.

On April 14, power generation at the plant stopped due to mechanical failure, causing severe load shedding in Bagerhat and surrounding districts.

Now 400MW is being generated at the plant, said Anwarul Azim, deputy general manager of Bangladesh-India Partnership Power Company Ltd. He said the production resumed at 1:00am.

The plant was connected to the national grid from December 17 last year.

It stopped production on January 14 due to coal shortage.

After about a month, power generation started again on February 15.
