Bangladesh has started receiving approximately 925 megawatts of electricity from India's Adani Power Plant. The second unit of the plant was synchronized with Bangladesh’s national grid on Monday evening, beginning supply at around 7:45 p.m. According to the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) chairman, power supply will gradually increase, helping to boost overall generation and reduce load-shedding across the country.

BPDB officials also stated that from April 28, additional 600 megawatts each are expected to come from SS Power and RNPL. RNPL is a joint venture between Bangladesh’s Rural Power Company Limited (RPCL) and China’s state-owned Norinco, which will begin producing 600 megawatts from the same date.

BPDB data show that on Saturday evening, Bangladesh’s peak electricity demand reached 16,900 megawatts, while maximum generation without Adani’s supply was 14,712 megawatts. The new imports are expected to ease the supply gap and improve grid stability.
