US firm GE has won a contract to supply four gas turbine rental units to generate 75 megawatts (mw) of electricity at Ghorashal, company insiders said.
GE would provide TM2500 aero-derivative gas turbines to generate electricity at Max Power's 75 mw quick rental power plant at Ghorashal.
"GE is constantly striving to develop innovative technology that can address our customers' dynamic energy and water needs. Our ability to deliver these rental units and get them operating quickly is a key to meeting Bangladesh's urgent power requirements," said Darryl Wilson, vice-president, aero-derivative gas turbines for GE Power & Water.
"We're confident that our TM2500 technology can play a significant role in helping to alleviate the severe power needs facing the people in the Ghorashal region of Bangladesh," he said.
State-owned Power Development Board awarded Max Power the Ghorashal quick rental power plant in October this year.
It would purchase electricity from the gas-based rental power plant at a tariff rate of Tk 4.8 per unit (1 kilowatt-hour) for three years.
"This quick rental power plant will help reduce the country's nagging electricity crisis," said Sufian A Khondker of Max Power.
