    The state-run Bangladesh Electricity Development Authority (BPDB) and China Huadian Hong Kong Limited (CHDHK) have signed an agreement to form a joint venture to build a 1,320 MW coal-fired power plant

    China Huadian formed a joint venture to build a coal-fired power plant in Bangladesh

    "The two sides will build a coal-fired power plant
    on Moheshkhali Island in the Cox's Bazar region, located 415 kilometers southeast of Dhaka.
    " BPDB director Mohammad Saiful Islam said
    .

    Islam said the joint venture, in which the two companies hold equal shares, will take four years to start production
    .

    Another official directly involved in the project said that implementing the project could cost about $2 billion
    under the original plan.

    Bangladesh plans to provide electricity to all its more than 160 million citizens by 2021, the year
    it intends to enter the ranks of middle-income countries.

    Currently, 20% of Bangladesh's population has no access to electricity, and the country faces a daily power shortage of 1,000 to 1,500 megawatts, rising to 2,000 megawatts
    during peak summer hours.

    Bangladesh currently produces up to 9,500 megawatts of electricity per day with a generating capacity of 12,000 megawatts, but the power generation capacity cannot be fully utilized
    due to major fuel shortages.
