Publish Date: 2022-05-15
Energypac Engineering Limited has played a crucial role in the Bangladesh government's accomplishment in distributing electricity to 100% of the country’s population.
Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB), Bangladesh Rural Electrification Board (BREB), Dhaka Electricity Supply Company (DESCO), Dhaka Power Distribution Company (DPDC), Northern Electricity Supply Company Limited (NESCO), and Western Zone Power Distribution Company Limited (WZPDCL) are the six institutions that distribute electricity throughout Bangladesh. However, in order to provide electrical coverage to the entire population of Bangladesh, BREB had to implement many initiatives to supply electricity to the country's rural areas. Many substations were created as a result of these efforts to provide electricity to all of the country's remote places.
After the year 2014, around 600 substations and switching stations were built. Amongst them, Energypac Engineering Limited completed the work of over 400 substations and switching stations in the country's rural areas.
The goal of the government was to provide 15 lakh electric connections to the people of Bangladesh, and several grids have already been established with the support of Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB). Around 100 grids have been installed in Bangladesh since 2014. Energypac Engineering Limited has built 29 grids and conducted substantial renovation work on 40 grids in the last five years. Energypac Engineering Limited is now working on the construction of 19 additional grids.
Amongst many notable projects, Energypac Engineering Limited worked on the Payra 1320 MW Thermal Power Plant, Matarbari Power Plant, Rampal Power Station, Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, Barapukuria Power Station, Bheramara 410 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant, Bibiyana III, 400 MW CCPP, Summit Bibiyana II Power Plant, 1627 MW Ashuganj Power Station and the 950 MW Ghorasal Power Station.
As a result, in recent years, Energypac Engineering Limited has assisted the government in bringing the whole population of the country under electric coverage by constructing dependable substations, switching stations, and grids for the efficient transmission and distribution of power.
