Background
In 2018, Bangladesh had an installed power generation capacity of 16000 MW and planned to raise it to 34000 MW by 2030.[9] In the same year, Bangladesh and General Electric Switzerland signed a deal to establish a 3600 MW LNG-based combined cycle power plant in Moheshkhali at an estimated cost of US $4.4 billion.[9]
