3 Summit Group PPs get further five years extension

Staff Reporter:

Three gas-fired power plants, each having capacity of 10 MW, of Summit Group received the nod of the Cabinet Committee on Government Purchase (CCGP) for further extension of existing agreements for next 5 years. Finance Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali presided over the CCGP meeting yesterday.
The Power Division moved the proposal to the CCGP meeting.
The power plants, located in Ashulia, Madhabdi and Candina, were set up as independent power plants (IPP) in 2003 under 15 years power purchase agreements (PPAs) with Dhaka Palli Biduyt Samity -1, Narshingdi Palli Biduyt Samity -1 and Cumilla Palli Biduyt Samity -1 of the Bangladesh Rural Electri-fication Board (BREB).
The PPAs were first expired in 2018 and the government expended their tenure for 5 years until August 2023.
“This time the agreements were extended for next five years on “No electricity, No Payment” basis,” said an additional secretary of the Cabinet Division who briefed reporters about the decision.
“The new level tariff for the plants were settled at Tk 5.82 per kilowatt hour which is Tk .07 lowers than the existing bulk power supply tariff”, he added.
However, it was not mentioned in the proposal of the Power Division what was the previous tariff.
It is mentioned that the non- fuel component of the tariff is Tk 1.75 and fuel component tariff is Tk 4.07.
The government will buy electricity worth Tk 546.795 crore over the next 5 years from the three power plants of the Summit Group.
Currently Summit Group has been the largest owner of private power plants having 15 plants with about 975.96 MW from which the government has been purchasing electricity.
