Transformer installation: No scheduled power cut as work suspended

In a latest development, the power division has suspended installation of a new 230/132 KV, 450 MVA transformer to increase the capacity of Rampura grid substation.

So, the parts of Dhaka will not experience power disruption as declared by the authorities earlier in the day, said a press release.

"As the work has been suspended, there is no scheduled power cut," said Power Grid Company of Bangladesh public relations officer Badiuzzaman, reports UNB.

He said earlier there was a 7-day programme for installation of the transformer during which some areas in Dhaka could have experienced power disruption.
