Since the national power grid failure on October 4, 2022, Ghorashal Power Station could not resume operation in full capacity, a top official of Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB), has said.
"Ghorashal Power Station may take one more week to resume electricity generation in full capacity," he said, wishing not to be named.
Bangladesh Power Development Board data shows the country's power generation varies between 11,000 MW and 12,000 MW, following the national grid failure on October 4 - against a demand for about 14,000 MW.
"As a result, we have to resort to about 2,000 MW of load shedding to manage the situation," the BPDB official said.
He also noted that power supply from Ghorashal station plays a major role in meeting demands in Dhaka city.
"Until Ghorashal resumes operation in full swing, power supply situation in Dhaka is unlikely to improve," he observed.
