The KHPP has total four units with total generation capacity of 180 MW, now the KHPP is producing a total of 188 MW electricity every day. Though KHPP has been producing the highest of its capacity, the production would not be able to erase locals misery of load shedding. Aby Syed, president of Banorupa Traders Welfare Society said: “Ahead of Eid-ul-Azha, traders of the district have compelled to sit idle as buyers are not interested to enter in the market due to frequent load shedding and heat.”“This year we are going to face a great loss due to load shedding,” he added. He noted that, to solve this problem permanently the construction works of a 132KV power station is under way which will be completed with two years. The load shedding problem of Rangamati will be solved after completing the 132KV power station construction works, he added.
