Location
The map below shows Mirsarai Economic Zone, the approximate location of the project, in Mirsarai upazila, Chittagong district, Chittagong division.
Background
In October 2015 officials of China-based Zhejiang Jindun Holding Group Company visited the under-construction economic zone at Mirsarai upazila known as Mirsarai Economic Zone. The Chinese company has expressed interest to set up a coal-based power plant with a capacity of 1,300-megawatt there. Zhejiang Jindun Holding Group Company Ltd has sought 1,000 acres of land for establishing the power plant.[1]
In October 2016 it was reported that Bangladesh Economic Zones Authority signed two agreements worth US$5.3 billion with Chinese companies Zhejiang Jindun Holding Company and China Electric Power Construction Group (PowerChina) to produce 1,320MW of coal-fired electricity and invest in renewable power projects. PowerChina's SEPCO is the EPC contractor. The coal-fired power plant would be set up at Mirsarai in Chittagong.[2]
In March 2018 it was reported that a consortium of Hangzhou Jinjjang Group, Hangjhou Zhengcai Holding Group and Jindun Energy Equipment (Hong Kong) would construct the plant on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis for about US$2.5 billion. A Chinese bank has committed to provide the loans of up to US$2 billion, according to power division officials.[3]
