The process of setting up 1,000 MW to 1,200 MW quick rental power stations is going on to keep power shortage at a tolerable level in 2010 and 2011, reports BSS.
State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Mohammad Enamul Haque said this in the House Thursday while replying to a supplementary question from treasury bench lawmaker Shafiqul Azam Chowdhury.
"These plants can be set up quickly for generating power for three to five years," he said and told another questioner Begum Nilufar Chowdhury Moni that the government took plans to add 9,426 MW power to the national grid by 2015.
Besides setting up gas based plants, power stations would be set up based on coal, diesel and furnace oil and dual fuel and renewable oil in view of crisis of gas in the country, he added.
Under short, mid and long-term plans, a total of 792 MW power would be added to the national grid this year through public and private sectors, Haque said adding that another 920 MW would be added in 2011, 2,269 MW in 2012, 1,675 MW in 2013, 1,170 MW in 2014 and 2,600 MW in 2015.
Besides setting up new plants, the State Minister said plans have been undertaken to renovate and rehabilitate the old ones and save electricity through demand side management. The government has undertaken plans to import electricity from the neighboring countries under inter-state cooperation.
He also said that 100 MW power would be added to the national grid through renovating and rehabilitating the old power stations, 50 MW from 3rd unit and 50 MW from 4th unit of Karnaphuli hydro- electric plant. Besides, measures have been taken to increase power generation by renovating and rehabilitating other public sector plants in phases.
In reply to a query from Begum Mahjabin Morshed, Haque said
the fuel oil price depends on the price in the international market. "If price in the international market falls, then reduction in price for the same in the domestic market would be considered," he added.
In reply to another query from Shahin Monwara Haque, he said
there is no crisis of gas in North Bengal.
