Bangladesh is still eager to continue the power purchase agreement which it had earlier signed with the Adani Group for supplying thermal power from the Adani Godda power plant in Jharkhand to Bangladesh. The global conglomerate has recently received its open support from a Bangladesh leader a post the attacks on its former CM, Sheikh Hasina, for various fraudulent activities.
Adani Receives Support For The Continuance Of Power Deal In Bangladesh: Bangladesh’s opposition party has recently acknowledged the importance of energy investment by Indian Industrialist Gautam Adani and his Group in meeting the growing electricity demands in Bangladesh, specially for the ongoing industrial developments which are taking place in different corners of the country. The party’s organising secretary Shama Obaid who also happens to be a well-known associate of the former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia has talked about the need for transparency and accountability in such projects.
The Adani Godda Project: A Testament To Adani’s Enhanced Control Over The Power Sector: The Adani Group has been responsible for supplying power to Bangladesh for quite a while now. The company is known to operate the first transnational project in collaboration with Bangladesh. Adani Power Jharkhand Limited which is the wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Power Limited and a part of the diversified Adani Group achieved the commercial operations date (COD) for the second unit of its ultra-supercritical thermal power plant on 26th June 2023.
The reliability run test including the commercial operation test of the second unit of the Adani Godda power plant was completed on 25th June 2023. This was done in the presence of BPDB and Power Grid Corporation of Bangladesh. On 6th April 2023, the second unit of the power plant also having a capacity of 800 MW achieved its COD. The power supply from the Godda power plant to the Bangladesh grid helped enhance energy security. As per the power purchase agreement, Adani Power has been supplying 1,496 MW net capacity from its Godda power plant. The deal was signed in November 2017 for 25 years. The transmission takes place through a 400 KV dedicated transmission system connected to the Bangladesh grid.
