Power generation at Ghorashal Power Plant’s unit-5 halted again
Power generation at unit five of Ghorashal Thermal Power Plant in Narsingdi was halted again today (October 12) two days after resuming.
Acting Chief Engineer Abu Bakar Siddik of Ghorashal Thermal Power Plant confirmed the information to The Daily Star
It will take six to seven days to resume power generation in the unit, Abu Bakar Siddik added.
Earlier, on October 4 units four and five of the Ghorashal Thermal Power Plant shut down suddenly due to a power failure in the national grid at 2:05pm.
On that day, due to the failure in the national grid, all the areas of Dhaka, Chattogram, Cumilla, Mymensingh, and Sylhet divisions were simultaneously without electricity.
Although the power supply was restored at 9:00pm, it took a few more hours for the power plants to return to full load one by one.
About 65 percent of the people of the country had to remain without electricity for about 8 hours due to lack of electricity in the eastern grid. Some areas were in darkness for longer than that.
