The Payra 1320 MW Thermal Power Plant stands as a beacon of Bangladesh’s commitment to energy security and economic growth. This colossal facility, boasting a capacity of 1,320 megawatts, significantly strengthens the national grid, illuminating homes and businesses across the country.
The Payra Power Plant utilizes ultra-supercritical technology, ensuring efficient fuel consumption while minimizing environmental impact. Here’s a glimpse into the plant’s technological prowess:
- Ultra-Supercritical Technology: Burns less coal to generate the same amount of power.
- Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD): Minimizes sulfur emissions, promoting cleaner air.
- Electrostatic Precipitator (ESP): Effectively removes ash particles, reducing air pollution.
The construction of the Payra Power Plant is a testament to successful international cooperation. The Bangladesh-China Power Company Ltd. (BCPCL) spearheaded the project, showcasing a strong partnership for a brighter future.
