The Power Grid Company of Bangladesh Ltd (PGCB) has suspended the installation of a new 230/132 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 an announcement was made that different areas in Dhaka city would experience power disruptions due to the seven-day transformer installation process.
He also said 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 was also confirmed by the Power Division through a press release. It said the work has been suspended for unavoidable reasons.
The new schedule for the installation will be informed later, it added.
