PÖYRY PLC Press Release 5 April 2017 at 10:00 (EEST)
Ashuganj Power Station Company Ltd. (APSCL), an enterprise of Bangladesh Power
Development Board (BPDB) has awarded Pöyry with the owner's engineer services
assignment for the Ashuganj 400 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant (East) project in
Bangladesh.
The Bangladeshi government's Vision 2021 aims for 'a middle income country where
poverty will be drastically reduced, our citizens will be able to meet every
basic need and where development will be on fast track, with ever-increasing
rates of inclusive growth'. And all this achieved on a sustainable basis without
damaging the environment.
The associated 'Perspective Plan' aims to develop an integrated and developed
energy sector with a diversified fuel mix that will be the key driver of a
sustainable local and national economy, while attaining global competitiveness
in all sectors by 2021 increasing electricity supply to 20,000 MW.
Ashuganj 400 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant (East) will replace an old,
inefficient 150 MW steam turbine generation plant. Ashuganj, in Brahmanbaria
District, is approximately 90 km north east of the capital, Dhaka.
Pöyry's assignment includes Supervision of Demolition, Disposal and Site
Preparation Supervision, Construction Supervision, Testing and Commissioning
Supervision for 36 months starting from Q4/2017.
"It is a great pleasure having selected Pöyry as our Owner's Engineer, we trust
that their competent advice will ensure the successful completion of the
project" said Md. Anwar Hossain, Project Director, APSCL.
"The plant will provide cost-competitive electricity to the people of Bangladesh
as the country aims to rapidly increase electricity supply as part of 'Vision
2021'" says Michael Gruenenfelder, Regional Director of Pöyry's Thermal Power &
Renewables business.
The value of the order is not disclosed. The order will be recognised within the
Energy Business Group order stock in H1/2017.
