Background
In February 1990, the first unit started construction.[7]
The gas for the plant is supplied from the Bakhrabad and Feni gas fields and the Sangu offshore field.[8]
In July 1993, the first steam turbine unit came online.[9]
In 1997, the second steam turbine unit came online.[9]
In 2024, the first combined cycle unit is expected to come online.[9][10]
