India's Godda coal-fired power plant has returned to full production. Adani Group sources said that 1510 MW of electricity was supplied at 9 pm on Tuesday (July 2).
The electricity generated by Adani's plant is exported to Bangladesh. A unit goes for routine maintenance during Eid holidays.
Another unit was completely shut down on June 29 due to technical reasons while it was in partial production. Due to this, load shedding of electricity in the country took an extreme form.
Minister of State for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid had already confirmed the return to production on July 2. He told Barta24.com that there was a unit of Adani under regular maintenance. That too will come into production tomorrow. And the unit which was shut down due to technical problems is already in production. One unit of our Payra Power Plant is under regular maintenance. That too will be in production soon. Then there will be no shortage of power generation.
Bangladesh imports 1600 megawatts of electricity from Adani's power plant which comes to Bangladesh through Rohanpur of Chapainawabganj, Bangladesh. The Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) report showed that the power plant provided only 500 MW of electricity on June 21.
PGCB sources informed that the demand during the Eid holidays was low, due to which the power plants are regularly maintained by rotation. First unit of Adani power plant went into schedule maintenance before Eid. It is scheduled to return to production on July 5. Sudden shutdown of supply from the second unit has created a major shortfall in power supply in the country.
The first unit of Adani's power plant started supplying electricity at an average of 750 MW in March last year. Production from the second unit started in June.
