The Rampal thermal power plant in Bagerhat stopped its power generation once again on Friday night following a technical malfunction.

According to a source from the plant, the power generation stopped around 9:30pm. Anwarul Azim, the deputy general manager of the Bangladesh-India Friendship Power Company Limited (BIFPCL) could not be reached for a statement. This is not the first time the plant faced operational issues. Previously on July 16, a turbine fault caused a shutdown. Operations resumed on July 20 after the turbine was fixed. Since its inception on December 17, 2022, the power plant has experienced six shutdowns in just eight months.
