Coal-fired power will be a bit pricey: Muhith
Finance Minister AMA Muhith yesterday said electricity produced by a coal-fired plant to be set up in collaboration with India will be a little pricier than power from a gas-based plant.
The minister spoke to reporters at his secretariat office after a meeting with the new Japanese Ambassador Shiro Sadoshima.
Before the meeting, Muhith sat with the Power Division to discuss the draft agreement of the 1,300 megawatt coal-based plant.
Bangladesh Power Development Board and Indian National Thermal Power Company will form a joint venture company for the plant.
Sadoshima assured the minister that the complexity arising from the Padma Bridge issue will not affect any other Japanese assistance.
He said Japan is reviewing the new alignment of the route for the metro rail project in the capital.
