Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will inaugurate a 100mw 'quick rental' power plant at Siddhirganj on March 20. Desh Energy, a local company, implemented the diesel-fired power plant last month and was producing power on a 'test-run basis'. Power Development Board (PDB) signed the deal with Desh Energy about eight months back. Per unit cost of electricity from the plant will be Tk 16 plus. The PDB is producing around 3900 to 4100 mw electricity against a demand for around 5200 mw. - BSS
