Three more ships loaded with 60,000 tonnes of coal each for S Alam-sponsored power plant will arrive in Chattogram on June 15. A coal-loaded ship for Payra Power Plant will also arrive in the country later this month. “So, I can assure you that the power supply crisis is gradually being over….it’ll be fully over within two weeks,” Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) Chairman Md Mahbubur Rahman told the Daily Sun on Saturday. “We’ve taken steps to increase supply from Adani power plant as well as from S Alam power plant,” Mahbubur added. The BPDB chairman said the power supply will be increased if the crisis over opening letter of credit (LC) for fuel import for electricity is removed.
