Overview of Bangladesh Preparation for Interconnection with India Arun Kumar Saha DGM Planning ( In Charge) PGCB Dated 19 th Sept 2011
Overview: The issue Cross Border Electrical Interconnection between India and Bangladesh have been discussed from long before but it has got momentum during the visit of Four member s Indian delegations headed by Joint Secretary Power to Bangladesh from 22nd November to 26th November 2009. After that MOU was signed between the Governments of Bangladesh & India for Cooperation in Power Sector on 11 Jan 2010.
Keeping in view the technical consideration and reliable operation of both the System Baharampur (India) Bheramara (Bangladesh) option was taken for implementation after several visit & study by the joint technical committee. Total Scope of the Project: 1. Establishment of 400kV Switching Station at Baharampur (India) by LILO of Farakka-Jeerat 400kV single circuit line 2. Baharampur (India) Ishurdi/Bheramara (Bangladesh) 400kV double circuit line (85km in Indian part & 30km in Bangladesh) 3. Installation of HVDC back-to-back station (400/230 kv) at Ishurdi/Bheramara (Bangladesh).
