The Barisal Power Station in Bangladesh, funded and built by POWERCHINA, recently surpassed 1 billion kilowatt-hours in cumulative electricity generation in 2024. Since it started commercial operations, the station's cumulative electricity generation has exceeded 2 billion kWh, with the units achieving 575 days of continuous safe and stable operation.
The year 2024 marks the second year of commercial operation for the Barisal Power Station. The Barisal Power Company has effectively managed station operations and carried out thorough equipment maintenance to ensure safe production, leading to the safe and stable operation of the units.
Since the power station began operating, the Barisal Power Company has sought effective ways to improve quality and efficiency by strengthening control over the quality of operations and maintenance. The company has also established a coordination mechanism for business operations, including power generation planning, fuel trading and storage, electricity billing and financial management.
Since its commissioning, the project has not only provided stable and reliable green electricity to southern Bangladesh but also made significant contributions to local economic and social development and improvements in living standards.
