Project Details

Acorn Infrastructure Service Unit-2 Ltd. received LOI form Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) to establish 100 MW HFO power plant in Juldha, Chattogram to supply electricity to national gird to contribute in meeting the growing power demand of the country. Like the previous units of ACORN power plant, this unit has been built with state-of-the-art technology using German made Caterpillar 16CM43 model reciprocating engine, which is the most fuel-efficient engine installed and commissioned in Bangladesh, & consumes only a gram of HFO to generate one Kilowatt of electric power that is less than the permitted value with BPDB. 

Juldha Power Plant is located in Dhangarchar, just across of Chattogram port in Chittagong District. It is about 5 km from Agrabad Commercial Area and about 10 km from Chittagong International Airport. Chittagong is the port capital and second largest city of Bangladesh. Being the electricity producer of Chittagong division, It is in the Chittagong District, which is in the southeastern part of the country near Myanmar (Burma). The city was built on the banks of the Karnaphuli River connecting with the Bay of Bengal.

The largest seaport of the country, Chittagong is the main route for almost all of Bangladesh’s import and export, and generates a huge amount of revenue each year, attracting many global investors. Its’ port and its facilities is extensively developed and particularly suitable for ocean freights. The city is Bangladesh’s commercial and manufacturing hub, and home to country’s mega industries. It is also notable that a large eco-park is situated in the territory placed in Sitakundu, which is catering the interests of ecologists and individuals and communities working in forestry-related genetic science.
