All five units of the Karnaphuli Hydroelectric Power Station in Kaptai have resumed operation following a rise in the water level of the Kaptai Lake due to several days of heavy rainfall.
The five units have been operating simultaneously, producing a total of 144 megawatts (MW) of electricity.
Confirming the development, plant Manager Engineer Mahmood Hasan said continuous rainfall and increased rush from upstream significantly raised the water level of the Kaptai Lake, enabling the authorities to operate all five units.
Of the total output, Units 1 and 2 are each generating 32 MW, Unit 3 is producing 30 MW, while Units 4 and 5 are each generating 25 MW, bringing total production to 144 MW.
The plant has an installed generation capacity of 230 MW.
