Power generation resumes
Remaining shut for one and a half months, the 9th unit of Shahjibazar power station in Habiganj district resumed operation yesterday morning putting the station's total generation at 90MW. The unit stopped power generation on 13 October last due to a serious technical fault in the generator.

The units-5 and 6 were however, put into operation for producing 20MW in September this year after repairs by local engineers at a cost of Tk one crore.
