The Intraco Refuelling Station, which was responsible for transporting 5 million cubic feet of gas daily from Bhola in CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) form during the previous government’s tenure, has shown interest in expanding its capacity to transport an additional 20 million cubic feet of gas per day.
The company, which signed the earlier agreement under the Quick Enhancement of Electricity and Energy Supply Act, has welcomed the government’s new initiative to select contractors through open tender.
Intraco officials held a press conference at a hotel in Dhaka recently to share their experiences in gas transportation.
The interim government repealed the Energy Act, also known as the quick rental law, enacted in 2010 by the Awami League government.
Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Advisor Fouzul Kabir Khan said no contractor will be appointed without an open competitive bidding process.
After discussions with several companies, state-owned Sundarban Gas Company Limited, or SGCL, chose Intraco on May 21, 2023, to transport and distribute natural gas found in island district Bhola to industrial Zones around Dhaka.
