Ghorashal unit-5 stops production yet again
Ghorashal Power Plant's unit-5 will not be supplying electricity for the next seven days, the plant's officials said.
Some technical problems found in the 210MW unit forced the production to stop at 2:30pm yesterday, they added.
This was the third time since the national power grid failure on October 4 that this unit faced problems.
"It will take another seven days to repair the machine and resume production," said Abu Bakar Siddique, the acting chief engineer of the plant.
On October 4, unit-5 tripped after a safety bulb had burst due to temperature rise in its turbine, sources at the power plant had said. Unit-4 had also tripped, but was operational within an hour, they added.
Unit-5 was repaired the next day after a probe committee from Power Grid Company of Bangladesh visited the plant, but the production stopped again, an hour after the committee left the premises.
The unit had resumed supplying power on October 10.
