Rampal power plant in Bagerhat has set a national record in electricity generation as the plant produced 700 million units of electricity in November this year, marking the highest monthly output by any power plant in Bangladesh.
Anwarul Azim, deputy general manager (public relations) of Bangladesh-India Friendship Power Company Limited (BIFPCL), said the Maitree Super Thermal Power Plant (MSTPP) supplied electricity to the national grid throughout the month, contributing around 11.5% of the country's total power demand.
This has further strengthened its position as one of the country's top electricity producers.

He also expressed hope that this strong generation performance will continue in the coming months.
