The state-owned Electricity Generation Company of Bangladesh (EGCB) will start the supply of electricity to the national grid from Sonagazi 75-megawatt solar power plant by end of this month.


"Around 95 percent of the project work has already been completed. We are going to start supply of electricity to the national grid by the end of this month," Project Director of the Sonagazi 75MW Solar Power Plant Construction Project Mohammad Anwar Hossain.


Though the supply of electricity will start from this month, the plant will formally be inaugurated after completion of 100 percent works, he said.


He mentioned that the power will be supplied to national grid through the substation of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar.


He informed that the power plant in Feni district was initially planned for 50 MW. However, the authority decided to enhance the capacity to 75MW as some US$22 million could be saved from the total allocated fund and the required land was available nearby, he added.
