Bangladesh: Second East-West Electrical Interconnector Under West Zone Power System Development Project

Abstract

A feasibility study in 1990 identified the necessity of a second east-west power interconnector from Ashuganj to Sirajganj. The primary objective was to meet the growing demand in the northern and western parts of the country by transmitting less costly electric power from the east. This brief provides an overview of the Second East-West Electrical Interconnector Under West Zone Power System Development Project in Bangladesh.
