The 525 MW Barapukuria coal-fired thermal power plant in Parbatipur, Dinajpur, ceased all power production following mechanical failures in its operational units within two days. The shutdown of the 125 MW Unit 1 on Monday and the 275 MW Unit 3 on Tuesday morning, alongside the second unit being closed since 2020 for maintenance, has resulted in a 230 MW shortfall in the national grid and power supply disruptions across eight districts. Repairs are underway by the Chinese contractor, Harbin Company, though a 15-20 day cooling period is required for the turbines.
