The Tripura government has agreed to a proposal to supply additional 100 mW power to Bangladesh, but with a condition that the Centre would continue a steady flow of gas to 101 mW thermal power project in Sipahijala district, Tripura Power Minister Manik Dey said on Saturday. Recently, Bangladesh had written to the Government of India about its requirement of additional 100 mW power from Tripura and the Ministry of Power wanted the opinion of the State government.
“We are also interested to supply additional 100 mW of power to our neighbour. We can give them the entire production of the 101 mW gas based thermal power project at Monarchak in Sipahijala district. If the Government of India can ensure steady flow of supply of gas to the project. We have intimated our opinion to the central government,” State Power Minister told reporters here. - PTI
