Bangladesh's Barisal Power Plant, which POWERCHINA invested in, constructed, and operates, generated over 3 billion kilowatt-hours of on-grid electricity as of Feb 24.

The plant significantly contributes to the country's annual power generation, alleviating local power shortages and enhancing the reliability of the electricity supply, making it a key energy project in southern Bangladesh. It benefits millions of residents and industrial enterprises and strongly supports local economic development.

The plant adopts advanced supercritical units with optimized combustion efficiency , achieving economic and environmental benefits. Equipped with high-standard environmental protection facilities, its emissions remain far below Bangladesh's current standards, effectively preserving air quality and the surrounding mangrove ecosystem.

The Barisal Power Plant greatly emphasizes equipment safety and maintenance, working closely with operation and maintenance partners to establish a comprehensive management system. By strictly adhering to operational procedures, the plant completed its first Class-C overhaul, ensuring the long-term stable operation of its units.
