All fi ve units of the Karnaphuli Hydroelectric Power Station in Kaptai have resumed operation following a rise in the water level of the Kaptai Lake due to several days of heavy rainfall.
The fi ve units have been operating simultaneously, producing a total of 144 megawatts (MW) of electricity.
Confi rming the development, plant Manager Engineer Mahmood Hasan said continuous rainfall and increased rush from upstream signifi cantly raised the water level of the Kaptai Lake, enabling the authorities to operate all fi ve units.
Of the total output, Units 1 and 2 are each generating 32 MW, Unit 3 is producing 30 MW, while Units 4 and 5 are each generating 25 MW, bringing total production to 144 MW.
The plant has an installed generation capacity of 230 MW.
