Consulting Service for Feasibility study for Combined Cycle Power Plant Development
Project at Munshiganj.

l. fntroduction

Bangladesh has committed through its National Energy Policy to provide reliable and affordable
power to all by 2021. To achieve this target, Government of Bangladesh (GOB) has taken several
initiatives. Target of generation capacity is 24,000 MW, 40,000 MW and 60,000 MW by 2021,2030 and
2041 respectively. To meet this demand, the generation capacity should be increased. This will be achieved
through variety of fuel-mixes, the projection of the primary energy supply in204l will be 20Yo from coal,
38% from natural gas,25o/o from oil, 9%o from nuclear, 8% from Hydro, Solar, Wind, Biofuel, waste and
power import.

Electricity Generation Company of Bangladesh (EGCB) Ltd. (An enterprise of BPDB) .is a government
owned company for electricity generation in Bangladesh. Currently EGCB operates three power plants
(Haripur 412 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant, Siddhirganl 2x120 MW Peaking Power Plant and
Siddhirganj 335 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant, the Gas Turbine is in operation from 0lMay'2018
and Steam Turbine is expected to start from October' 2019\.

As part of the generation target of Bangladesh Government, Electricity Generation Company of

Bangladesh Limited (EGCB) has started the process to acquire around 194 acres of land at Char Mashura
& Char Ramjanbeg, under Munshiganj Sadar & Gazaria Upazilla of Munshiganj District for
development of large base load power station. Earlier, EGCB Ltd. conducted a Pre-feasibility Study, Initial
Environmental Examination (IEE) and Initial Resettlement Action Plan (IRAP) for setting up of 600-800
MW Coal based Power Plant at that site.
