C T Online Desk: Power generation at the Unit-5 of Ghorashal Thermal Power Plant resumed last night (October 19, 2022) around 11pm after eight days of suspension.
Abu Bakar Siddique, acting chief engineer of the plant, confirmed the development to our Narsingdi correspondent today (October 20, 2022).
On October 4, when there was a national grid failure, the plant’s Unit-5, which has a capacity of 210 MHz, was shut down as a result of an unexpected mechanical issue, Abu Bakar said.
After seven days, the issue was fixed, and the unit was opened on October 10.
“However, on October 12, two days after the re-launch, the unit’s bearing failed, and it had to be shut down again. The unit resumed full production last night after eight days of bearing repair work were finished,” he added.
