Transformer Installation Work Suspended, No Scheduled Power Cut in Dhaka

Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) has suspended the installation of a new 240/132 kV, 450 MVA transformer at Dhaka’s Rampura Grid Substation.

“As the work has been suspended, there is no scheduled power cut,” said PGCB public relations officer Badiuzzaman, adding that earlier there was a 7-day programme for installation of the transformer during which some areas in Dhaka could have experienced power disruption.

He also said that this high voltage capacity transformer was to be installed replacing the existing one in order to improve the capacity of the grid substation.

The issue of suspension of the installation work was also confirmed by the Power Division through a press release. It said the works were suspended for unavoidable reasons.

The new schedule for the installation work will be informed later, it added.
