Ashuganj power plant unit goes on trial run

A simple cycle unit of a newly built 225 MW combined cycle power plant at Ashuganj Power Station has started commercial production. Officials at the power station said the unit went into commercial production at 9:30 pm on Friday and was synchronised with the national grid. "Through the gradual increase in its running hours, we hope the unit will come into its full-swing production within 4-5 days," Ajit Kumar Sarker, project director of the APSCL, said.    — UNB
