Background

In June 2012, the construction of the plant was completed. Necessary gas was expected to be supplied from the Bakhrabad Gas field. The project was constructed at the cost of Taka 12 billion (US $126.4 million), of which 55% came from external sources and 45% from government resources.[7]

This Power Plant is the country's first combined cycle power station.

The project was commissioned on 3 March, 2012.[8]
