Adequate gas supply has pushed up the electricity production to record high of 11,534 megawatt on Monday.
Also full swing operation of all fuel run plants is also another reason for production hike, said the director of public relation of Power Development Board (PDB) Saiful Hasan Chowdhury.
On Jul 18 this year, the production was 11,387MW while the last year’s highest generation was 9,705, said the PDB sources.
The PDB authority marked adequate gas supply as the key to producing power with all the oil-run power plants being operative.
Referring to reaching the benchmark, the PDB official said, “There was no load-shedding anywhere as we could generate the power as per the daily demand on Monday.
The power generation was nearly 11,000MW from couple of days in the evening time, on Monday it crossed the record, he added.
