A Taka 2025 crore comprehensive programme has been taken up by the government for generating an additional 720 megawatt power to meet the growing need of electricity in the country, reports UNB.
Projects under the ambitious scheme will be implemented in phases by 1996 in order to reduce the vexing problem of loadshedding by meeting the increased need of power.
This was disclosed by Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Dr Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain while Inaugurating a 6-day workshop on "Health and Security in Power Industry."
The inaugural session of the workshop, organised jointly by the Public Service
International (PSI) and the Bangladesh Jatiya Bldyut Sramik-Karmacharl Union, was also attended by DESA Chairman STS Mahmud, Regional representative of PSI for South Asia JL Bhan and representative of the Trade Union Centre of UK Peter Kerby.
Bldyut Sramlk Union President Kazi Hablbur Rahman presided over the session, also addressed by Its General Secretary Zafrul Hasan.
The Energy Minister said under the programme, a 210-mg power unit would be set up at a cost of Taka 525 crore at Rawjan in Chittagong tn April and a Taka 576 crore 5th unit at Ghorashal with a capacity of 210 mg in December next year.
In April 1995, a 90-mg unit would be set up at Fenchuganj
In Sylhet at Taka 431 crore, while In March 1996, the 6th unit of Ghorashal be established with a capacity of 210 mg Involving Taka 893 crore.
Besides, plans are at the final stage to set up a 210-mg second unit at Rawjan and produce an additional 10 mg power in Mymensingh, Khandker told the function.
Installed capacity of the country's power plants at present is 2,398 mg tvhile real output shows 1695 mg, he
The Minister said meeting the demands for an additional 200 mg power each year needed an additional amount of Taka 500 crore. Current cost of generation, transmission and distribution of a megawatt of power now stands at about Taka 8 crore.
About the importance of the workshop, he said employees should remain aware about their health and security, because production of power, Its transmission and distribution were a very risky Job.
Knowledge and experience gained during the workshop will bring necessary health and security awareness to the employees working in different units of the project, he said, adding this will help reduce accidents and loss of life in the power sector.
Mentioning the role of trade union. Khandker said their relationship with the management was not only that of bargaining but also of sharing responsibility to ensure overall progress of the organisation maintaining good atmosphere.
