closed

The development objective of the Ghorashal Unit Four Repowering Project is to increase generation capacity and efficiency of the targeted power plant. There are two components to the project, the first component being re-powering of the target unit. His component will finance all the required plant equipment and auxiliaries, design and installations services for the full repowering of unit four. The major plant equipment include a new Gas Turbine and Generator (GTG), a Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG), Distributed Control System (DCS), gas booster compressor, main stack, bypass stack and all other associated ancillary equipment. The works will include complete overhauling of the existing ST generator, replacement and modernization of the existing auxiliaries, rehabilitation and modernization of existing cooling towers and workshop buildings, construction of a regulatory metering station (RMS), dismantling of the existing boiler, and construction of residential and non-residential buildings. Finally, the second component is the technical assistance for institutional strengthening support. This component would finance an owner’s Engineer (implementation support consultant) for the Project to bolster project governance while ensuring effective management, monitoring and quality assurance of the design, engineering and construction and the initial operation of the repowered plant. This component would also focus on capacity building and institutional support to operate the plant effectively and efficiently as well as support BPDB to help strengthen its technical and managerial capacity to plan, develop and operate its generation portfolio.
