Introduction

This project is known as the Chhanua G2G Project and concerns installation of two 500 MW GE 6F.03 CGT floating power plants in Bangladesh. The proposed site is at Chhanua on the Kathakhali Khal canal, a tributary emptying into the Kutubdia Channel.

Site preparation, marine access, gas supply and electrical interconnection require further surveys and planning. The diagrams above show the initial proposed arrangement and access route.
