A powerful earthquake caused widespread power outages across Bangladesh, including in Dhaka, after several power plants were forced to shut down or reduce production. The Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) confirmed that the Bibiyana-2 (Summit) 341 MW, Ashuganj 55 MW, and Ashuganj 50 MW plants were completely shut during the quake. Additionally, a 600 MW unit of SS Power went offline, while Bibiyana-3, Ashuganj 225 MW, and Sirajganj 225 MW plants reduced output. BPDB officials also reported disruptions at the Ghorashal AIS grid substation due to fire, broken insulators, and other technical issues, which led to further disconnections in several regions. The BPDB stated that restoration efforts are underway to normalize power supply as quickly as possible, though some areas remain without electricity.
