The government will sing a deal today( Tuesday)  with China Huadian Hong Kong Limited to set up a 1320MW coal-fired power plant at Maheshlkali Island in Cox's Bazar district, reports UNB.

According to official sources, the state-owned Power Development Board (PDB) will sign the deal with the Chinese firm to jointly set up an ultra-supercritical technology-based power plant at Maheshlkali  in the southeastern coast of Bangladesh.
