Bangladesh Power Development Board will float Request For Proposal (RFP) for installation of three gas- based power plants with a capacity of 1125 MW by February 2010.
"We have received good response from the investors in London Road Show Conference. We, however, will also issue RFP (Request For Proposal) for three combined Cycle power plants having 1125 MW capacity by mid February", ASM Alamgir Kabir, Chairman PDB told BSS over telephone from London on Thursday.
He said "Our plan is to install these three power plants by 2014 and as per our observation we would not face any problem to install these three plants as gas is available here."
The three plants included 350-450 MW capacity power plants at Bibiana-2 and Meghnaghat-2 and a 150 MW power plant at Bhola.
The plants are at the top priority list in the case of issuing RFP.
All the plants would be gas-based and the foreign investors showed interests about these projects, he added.
In London show, the projects which were presented are three combined cycle power plants with a 1125 MW capacity, two peaking plants with a capacity of 100 MW each, imported coal-based power plants of 2000-2600 MW capacity and one LNG terminal with a capacity of 3.5 million tonnes.
To woo the expatriate and Asian and American investors to implement around 3500 MW power projects in the next couple of year, the Power Development Board will go for another two road shows in Singapore and the USA in next month. |
