Move to set up 800 MW combined cycle power plant in Khulna

It may be true that some of the power plants do not do well. But, it all depends on the circumstances. In case of the captioned project, it will be built on an abandoned land presently owned by the GoB. So, it will minimize the construction cost.

Moreover, since this is a govt. owned plant, so, it will decide how much it will charge for an unit of power to the national grid, which carries power from different plants at various buying rates. So, the subject project will not be at a disadvantage of price competition with other suppliers. Therefore, it will survive. The plant you worked in was possibly a privately owned plant which had to face price competition from others.

Just search it yourself how much will be fix cost per unit of elecetrity produced if you invest 1 bn usd. You will get your answer. Now add gas cost and work out per unit cost and see whether you can afford it.

By an usual rule of thumb for constructing a power station, the planners roughly estimate the cost as $1 million for each megawatt capacity. So, $1,000 million for a 800 mW power station is not far above the usual cost. You have to understand that while Indian engineering companies are capable to design, produce, construct and erect all the mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, piping, foundation, drainage, structure and all other works to complete a project like this.

BD is incapable to do so. As a result, foreign contractors and vendors will be asked to do the works and supply the components. Do not you think that the cost of foreign participation is a little higher than if it is done by the local companies?

In that case what i have said applies more.

You seem to have a one-track mind. It is useless to continue discussing with you an issue on its merits and demerits. So, better live in your frog world.

I quite. It requires the knowledge of how the unit cost is determined. Its your mony do whatever you like.
