After failing to enhance local gas production, state-owned Petrobangla has now initiated a move to modify the current structure of the gas supply agreement (GSA) with future power plants in Bangladesh.
A draft of the revised GSA was recently sent to the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) seeking its opinion on the proposed move.
And on their part, a top BPDB official said, the file has been forwarded to the Power Division with notings.
“We'll soon hold a meeting with all power companies -- public and private -- to discuss in detail the merits and demerits of the revised GSA, before taking a final call on the proposal," said a senior official of the Power Division, who didn’t wish to be named.
He, however, said that the Power Cell, a technical wing of the Power Division, had been asked to analyse the proposal and prepare a detailed report, which would help the Power Division to take a "right decision" on the file.
