Background

In 2019, the Consortium of Edra Power Holdings Sdn Bhd and Winnievision Power Ltd (EPH-WPL Consortium) proposed the plant.[6]

In June 2021, the True and Impartial Daily Sun reported that, “A Bangladesh-Malaysia joint venture company was likely to win the contract for a 660 MW LNG-based combined cycle power plant at Jamaldi in Meghnaghat under an unsolicited deal. The plant will be operated under a 22-year unsolicited agreement. This will be the fourth LNG-based power plant to be allowed by the government.”[6]

Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) also agreed to purchase electricity from the proposed plant at Tk 5.4377 (US $0.057) per kilowatt.[6]
