Bangladesh eyes to import 3,000 MW power from China

Importing electricity is certainly not a self-destructive proposition because this power will help the country to enlarge its production base. With more production, BD will export more and earn many times more foreign currency than the purchasing cost of power from India and now China.
Most industrial nation do not import electricity unless it is damn cheap hydro power. We are losers who could not bring a single coal powered plant after 10 years if initiation. Apply the medicine where the wound is. Our technology and value addition in the export product will not supplement imported electricity cost. We are not Germany who produces car semiconductor etc. In 20 years you could face like 50 billion dollar worth of trade deficit.
 
Thank you for hoping the best for the proposed deal. Click the link below to see Myanmar needs 4530 mW of power by 2020 on top of its present capacity around 4,000 mW. However, when 2020 comes, Myanmar may find the projection was short and another 2,000 mW is necessary because of many future economic activities remain unforeseen now. So, you cannot just say that Myanmar demand is small, so the Chinese electricity is not needed in good amount.
well. i means we dont need to import urgently for such a big amount. most of our need will fulfill with local plants which are cheaper options like hydropower and gas fired plants.
at least 10 hydropower plants , 2 or 3 gas fire plants and 7 or 8 coal plants in coming a few year.

Why do you talk cheap? Are we an Industrial nation already or are we trying to be one? Do not please ask BD to put its cart before the horse. Cheap or expensive, we have to build ours and also import from other sources when needed.

About expense. How about our own proposed diesel power plant where the govt will pay about 20 Taka per unit, is it cheap? Read some other thread for information. At this stage, we need import from all the sources that may include Myanmar, Bhutan and Nepal as well.

The industrialists will invest their money only if power, among others, is made available to their factories. Hope, you understand that machines cannot be operated only manually or by cheap negative talking in a forum. It requires power.

Myanmar is very lucky that it is rich with mountain rivers that can produce power, while BD has almost none except that the Karnafuli river flow, downstream of Kaptai project, can be used to produce a paltry 100 mW. It has also a larg quantity of natural gas, as well. There were talks of BD investing in some of your hydro-electric power projects that failed.

I hope, someday BD and Myanmar will go for joint venture. Even not, BD can always buy hydro-electric power from Myanmar-financed projects in the future. Without power there is no way to develop the country and bring about the emancipation of the population of our region.
 
Bluesky,

A better approach is already being tried out- linking Eastern India, BD, Nepal and Bhutan into one grid. Cheap hydro from Nepal and Bhutan and coal based power in Eastern India cud be used as a common pool for the entire region.

Regards
 
The GoB remains ahead of time in producing power domestically and importing from India and now China. I have my full personal endorsement for import from China or any other country in our vicinity.

Have you guys looked at developing extensive tidal energy capabilities?

I mean you are a sea-faring country with immense water resources. Putting massive tidal turbines in you waters would immensely benefit Bangladesh.

Bangladesh's "Look East" policy ,Myanmar is the focal point for road +train connectivity to Kunming (Kunming Initiative, presently OBOR/BRI, also known as (ALTID +TAR) as termed by the UN and onwards links till the Pacific Ocean via Vietnam.

Merely, occasional bilateral hiccups, presently the unresolved Rohinga issue needs to be solved, through CBM's and mutually beneficial multi faceted economic,etc. cooperation.

When did all these extremists started supporting China ? Do they forget what the communist doing in their country? Muslims women are banned from wearing burqa and all of them needs to have mandatory app in the phones! They even forced their imams to dance in public!

Why are you making up your own words??? I said in the last 10 years we could not make a single coal power plant online and those idiot minister now trying to get bijli from China... and few days later they will propose to bring them from pacific.
Power should be generated at home like what Japan does or even follow India.

LOL.:bunny: Lucky India. thank your cows, that we did not ignite the N-E separatist movements/
West Bengals Naxals during 1971, however, had the IA not withdrawn from Bangladesh, we definitely would have,as by then,thanks for your hospitality, we exactly knew the entire location of IA's+BSF's Eastern Command as well the terrain,bridges,KIP,etc, and by then were armed to the teeth with additional huge array of far superior H K series+ AK'S Weapons. Explosives, Ammo and equipment's captured from the Pakistani Army and had NOT surrendered our Arms+ Ammo, before BB.:-):-):-)

I am rather surprised to see you are talking about tidal wave to produce power. You must be a genius. The problem is with both our political people who are not engineers and the engineers most of whom are not required to think original. The BoB has a tremendous potentiality to harness electricity from the energy due to spring and neap tides. But, which authority is supposed to work on such a project?

Bay of Fungy is the place where the waves are the highest. But, the waves in the BoB are also quite high. I hope Indian east coast (Orissa) will build a few of tidal energy projects. Only after this, there is a possibility for BD to go after its own making our PDF members happy. I do not think our top people are even aware of this kind of energy.

I think, all are good approach. BD is already buying a total of 660 mW from west Bengal and Tripura, and is negotiating with Delhi to buy from a far Arunachal. Even with these purchases from India, BD will be short of power that it will need to run its factories to be built. So, it is trying to buy China. As far as I know, the BD govt wants to build a total installed capacity/import of more than 50,000 mW in the near future.

Apart from dancing part, many BD people will be happy with other acts. Did the Chinese force the Mullahs to go to a Disco Club? Send us the names for us to visit them.
 
Wärtsilä to supply 300 MW power plant to Bangladesh's Summit Group
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 18 August 2017 at 12.00 pm EET

The technology group Wärtsilä today announced it had signed a contract with Bangladesh-based Summit Group to supply equipment totalling 300 MW. The power plant will be located in Gazipur and comprises eighteen Wärtsilä 46 engines operating on heavy fuel oil. The scope of supply for this project are the engine sets along with auxiliaries. The order is added to Wärtsilä's order book for the third quarter. This is a fast-track delivery, which will be fully completed in nine months. The equipment is scheduled to be delivered by November 2017 and the power plant is expected to be fully operational in March 2018.

The Bangladeshi economy, industries and population are growing and this growth puts strain on power supply and creates a need for more reliable power generation that can be added to the national grid. Time is also of essence as new generation will further stabilize power supply. Summit Group appreciates Wärtsilä's ability to deliver engines quickly. Summit Group and Wärtsilä have been working together for 20 years and have a strong relationship together. Previously this year, a contract of 150 MW was signed with the Summit Group in Gazipur, which - with the new power plant - amounts to a total of 450 MW in the area.

"We are thrilled that our cooperation with Summit Group continues. They know from previous experience that we provide them with reliable technology and equipment and that we are able to complete this project with a tight schedule," says Göran Richardsson, Regional Director at Wärtsilä.

Summit Group supplies over 1500 MW to the Bangladesh grid and is regarded as one of the most reliable and efficient power producers in the country. With this recently signed contract, Wärtsilä now has an installed base of 3300 MW in Bangladesh.
