Background
In July 2018, Reuters reported that U.S. General Electric, Japan’s Mitsubishi Corporation, and Bangladesh-based Summit will build a 2,400 megawatt (MW) thermal power plant and related oil and LNG terminals.[7] At the time, the $3 billion agreement was "the biggest ever private foreign direct investment (FDI) in the power sector in Bangladesh".[8]
In July 2018, Reuters reported that approximately 30% of Bangladesh's population does not have access to electricity. The country relies on its gas resources for 70 percent of its energy production, but as demand has risen, its supply has struggled to keep up, and the country is now becoming an LNG importer.[9]
The proposed plant is expected to come online in 2023.[10]
Summit will be the majority owner of the project, while Mitsubishi and GE will share the rest of the ownership.[11]
