Plant production capacity of the first unit from 660 MW to 680 MW of electricity to the national grid, but it is being supplied. Bangladesh China Power Company (BCPCL), the owner of the center, confirmed the information. With this, commercial production started at any of the country's main power plants: the government company North-West Power Generation Company Limited (Bangladesh) and the National Machinery A8 Port and Import Company (CMC) of China are building two power plants. coal power at Payra in Patuakhali. Each center has a unit of 60 MW each. With this, 2,640 MW of power will be generated in two coal-fired power plants in Payra. The center will operate on imported coal. Coal comes from Indonesia. The second unit is also expected to go into production in June this year. However, it is believed to be somewhat delayed due to the outbreak of the coronavirus. The power of this power plant will go first to Gopalganj. Then power will be supplied to other districts of the country from there. Energy department officials said they would stop taking power from small oil power plants in the Barisal division as the Payra power plant goes into commercial production. This will save power generation costs. The cost of generating energy from oil is much higher than that of a coal-fired power plant. BCPCL CEO AM Khorshedul Alam told Prothom Alo on his mobile phone that the power plant has been generating trial electricity for so long. Commercial production has now started. Chinese engineers have worked hard to bring the center into commercial production. The Minister of State for Energy, Energy and Mineral Resources, Nasrul Hamid, thanked all BCPCL officials and employees for starting commercial production, even in the Corona situation. The state minister said the pace of development will continue. The energy department is working diligently to implement the promised activities within the stipulated time. He added that the pace of development has not stopped as the country's largest power plant went into production despite the Corona outbreak. The center is built with ultra super critical technology. The use of this world-class technology is not the first in Bangladesh, but also in South Asia. On January 13, the power plant began to supply power to the national grid on an experimental basis. Since then, the plant has been able to start commercial production on Thursday after passing various tests. The energy department has begun work on several coal-fired power plants in the country at the government level. Rampal in Bagerhat and Matarbari in Cox's Bazar are among them. These centers will operate on imported coal. The pigeons arrived in the first commercial production. Construction of other power plants is underway.
