Semi Annual Monitoring Report For Upgradation of Khulna 150 MW to 225 MW Combined Cycle Power
Plant Project (CCPP)
(Khalishpur, Khulna)
Period: Semi-Annual (July-December, 2018)
Monitoring: Ambient Air, Water & Noise Quality
Executive Summery
Upgradation of Khulna 150 MW Peaking Power Plant to 225 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant
Project is identified by the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) to proper utilization of Energy.
The executing Agency of the project is the Ministry North-West Power Generation Co. Ltd. and
the implementing Agency is the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MoPEMR).
Financial assistance is given by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under the Tranch 1 of
Power System Expansion and Efficiency Improvement Investment Program.
At present, one 150MW Dual Fuel Peaking Power Plant has been established beside Khulna
Power Station (KPS) complex by NWPGCL. Now, NWPGCL intends to add one 75MW Steam
Plant using exhaust gas from 150MW dual fuel power plant to convert this open cycle power
plant into combined cycle power plant to be used as base load power station with the financial
assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB). In order to convert this peaking power plant
into combined cycle power plant, it has been proposed to add Heat Recovery Steam Generator,
Steam Turbine, 75MW Generator, Power transformer, cooling system, 45 m long Stack etc. with
the peaking power plant to be located in the existing rental power plant area.
The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMoP) are
the main practical tools employed during the construction phase to provide the environmental
protection measures. The purpose of the environmental management plan is to set out clearly the
required mitigation measures and allocate responsibility for each, and to provide additional
information to assist in planning and implementing the various activities.
The Impacts and mitigation for this project fall into two distinct categories, based on the phase in
which the mitigation will be provided and the parties who will take necessary action. For this
reason the EMP as well as EMoP for this project is divided into two parts. These are as follows:
a) Construction Phase EMP
b) Operation Phase EMP
5
This report mainly addressed relevant environmental issues and their mitigation measures for the
construction stage of the Project as mentioned in the following item. Summary of the
Environmental compliance is during the period of, July to December, 2018.

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Brief Project Description
Power System Expansion and Efficiency Improvement Investment Program is intended to
finance a series of investments via Multi-tranche Financing Facility (MFF) of Asian
Development Bank (ADB). Tranche 1 consist of several developments projects in
Generation, Transmission and Distribution sectors, including Upgradation of Khulna 150
MW Peaking Power Plant to 225MW Combined Cycle Power Plant Project.
Upgradation of Khulna 150 MW Peaking Power Plant to 225 MW Combined Cycle Power
Plant Project is identified by the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) to proper utilization of
Energy and reduce the exhaust temperature to release the atmosphere. The executing
Agency of the project is the North-West Power Generation Co. Ltd. and the implementing
Agency is Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MoPEMR).
Upgradation of Khulna 150 MW Peaking Power Plant to 225MW Combined Cycle
Power Plant has been established in the same Khulna 150 MW Peaking Power Plant area
and Agreeko 40MW Rental Power Plant area by adding 75MW steam plant with the
Khulna150MW Peaking Power Plant. The Khulna 150MW Peaking Power Plant is already
constructed within the existing Goalpara (Khulna Power Station) complex of BPDB, about
5 KM West of Khulna city. In Goalpara, there are already several power plants e.g. 110
MW Steam, 60 MW Steam, a 110 MW Independent Power Plant (IPP), KPCL and 40MW
Rental Power Plant. The major components of the plant consisted of a Simple Cycle Gas
Turbine with Generator, Control Room, 132/11kV Power Transformer, 132 KV Switch
yard, Liquid Fuel System, Natural Gas Fuel System, Lubricating System, Cooling System,
Water Treatment Plant, Effluent Treatment Plant and other associated accessories. The
Gas Turbine is initially operate with High Speed Diesel and then with natural gas if
natural gas will be available. In order to convert this peaking power plant into combined
cycle power plant, it has been proposed to add Heat Recovery Steam Generator, Steam
Turbine, 75MW Generator, Power transformer, cooling system, 45 m long stack etc. with
the peaking power plant to be located in the existing rental power plant area.

Environmental Monitoring Schedule
The Individual environmental monitoring measures are identified in the EIA and in the
EMP of EIA report and relate primarily to those activities in which there are measurable
environmental emissions (air quality, water quality and noise, etc). These activities are
drawn together in the Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMoP), which describes in detail
the purpose of each monitoring activity and the methodology to be employed (including
the approach, parameters to be measured, survey locations, frequency and other
information).
Environmental Monitoring Plan for Operation Phase of upgradation Khulna 150 MW PPP

Social Issues:
NWPGCL conduct CSR activities at khulna B L. college near the Khulna 225 MW CCPP
area.NWPGCL donated 50 (Fifty) lac taka for established a medical center of student of
khulna B L college from CSR fund (Annex 1).
6.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
The environmental monitoring report consists of Semiannually environmental monitoring
reporting based on identified parameters in EIA during construction phase. But this
power plant already produced power to national grid from 26 June, 2016. But project
period is up to December, 2018. During construction activities all of the mitigation
measures have been taken following ADB Environmental Safeguard Policy 2009,
IFC/World Bank Thermal Power Plant Guideline 2008 and DoE, Bangladesh guideline
and suggestive and recommended measures in the EIA. Finally it can be concluded that
the project has no detrimental impact for short period on the environment in terms of
ambient air, ambient noise and water during the period from July to December, 2018.
