Project Details
The Sirajganj Power Complex, which is owned and operated by NWPGCL, was developed in 2007, located in Khas Barashimul Mouza in Sirajganj District. The Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), the political risk insurance and credit enhancement arm of the World Bank Group, announced its backing of loans by Standard Chartered Bank and Siemens Bank GmbH to North-West Power Generation Company Limited. This Sirajganj Power Complex includes two Combined Cycle Power Plant (Unit-1 & Unit-2) on commissioning period and two Combined Cycle Power Plant (Unit-3 & Unit-4) yet to be commissioned. After the successful implementation of all these projects, thus, total installed capacity of this Power complex will be 1075 MW.
Along with the massive implementation activities, remarkable numbers of employment opportunities have been created among all NWPGCL, EPC team and other subcontractor groups. It is roughly estimated that more than 4000 direct and indirect employment opportunities have been created as the results of the project implementation activities at Sirajganj Power Complex. Direct Employee recruitment of NWPGCL is bounded in accordance to the obligational procedures, strict and transparent, followed by all government entities for recruitment; thus, NWPGCL has legal bindings to employ local communities directly. Nonetheless, NWPGCL is committed to the development of the local communities by enhancing employments and other service facilities. As a part of this commitment, NWPGCL has guidance to the EPCs and subcontractors engaging local communities in project activities as much as possible based on the skill requirements, and such recruitments are always encouraged and appreciated by NWPGCL. Consequently, the EPC contractor, using recruitment companies or subcontractors, has recruited numerous unskilled and short term workers from local communities. To accelerate and continue the pace of local employment privileges, NWPGCL has taken initiatives to identify and assess the available skills of the surrounding communities around the Sirajganj Power Complex.
