Adani Power Limited (APL), the largest private thermal power producer in India, has commissioned its first 800 MW ultra-super-critical thermal power generation unit at Godda in the Jharkhand district and begun supplying 748 MW of power to neighbouring Bangladesh.
The Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) constructed 134 kilometres of transmission line from the Chapainawabganj border to the Bogra substation for receiving electricity from the Godda plant of Adani Power.
Bangladesh currently imports 1160 MW of power from India. It receives 1,000 MW of electricity from Berhampur in West Bengal via Kushtia's Bheramara and 160 MW from Suryamoni in Tripura via Comilla daily.
As per the MoU signed between Adani Power and BPDB in 2015, the entire production from the project can be supplied to Bangladesh.
India is the only country with whom Bangladesh has Cross Border Electricity Trade (CBET).
Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) was established in 1972 under the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, Government of Bangladesh and the agency is responsible for generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in the country.
