The S S Power Limited situated at Banshkhali has threatened to go into shut down from January 16 if their overdue bill is not settled by January 15.
in a letter to the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB), the SS Power Limited said that it would be forced to shut down at least one unit unless overdue payments are settled by January 15.
according to S S Power sources, the total dues amount to Taka 4000 crore.
if the BPDB fails to make payment within the stipulated time, the SS Power would go into shut down. As result, the country could face disruption, raising the risk of load-shedding at the advent of the year 2026. BPDB sources said that even a partial shutdown of the S S coal-?red power plant which regularly generate over 1,200 MW daily, would create an instant supply gap, despite lower electricity demand during the winter season.
