Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has commissioned gas turbines in open cycle for two large gas-based power projects in Bangladesh in quick succession during March 2017.  The first 150 MW gas turbine for Bangladesh Power Development Board’s (BPDB’s) 225 MW Combined Cycle (Dual Fuel) Power Plant at Sikalbaha in Chittagong district was synchronized with the national grid on March 25, 2017. The second 280 MW gas turbine for North West Power Generation (NWPGCL) Combined Cycle Power Plant (360 MW) Development Project at Bheramara in Kushtia district was synchronized with the grid on March 31, 2017. With the successful commissioning of these two gas turbines at their full capacity, around 450 MW of clean and green power has been added to the generation capacity of Bangladesh.

BPDB had awarded the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for Sikalbaha project to L&T through international bidding in August 2014 and work on the project started in April 2015. L&T has supplied advanced class gas turbines and high efficiency steam turbines for this project from world renowned European OEM - Siemens AG of Germany.

Furthermore, NWPGCL had awarded the Bheramara project in July 2014 to Japanese company - Marubeni Corporation - through international bidding, which engaged L&T as its EPC subcontractor. In this project, L&T has supplied state-of-the-art gas turbines and steam turbines from Japanese OEM - Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems. The power plants are designed to operate on natural gas as well as heavy fuel oil and work is in advanced stage to commission the steam turbines in combined cycle mode later this year. Once commissioned, the two power plants will generate more than 635 MW on full load.
