Electric power from ocean waves!
Your Chittagong staff correspondent's report published in your pages on July 7th. is indeed a great news for us in Bangladesh! Not only will we be having a wave driven power plant, but as reported, the Malaysian company also plans to set up a manufacturing plant in Chittagong for making such power plants to be supplied to Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, and may be India also! However, the capacity of the plant was stated in KwH.
However, as it was not clarified if it was the daily capacity or otherwise, we are not sure of the plant capacity. On 300 day per year basis, the plant capacity comes to 125MW! Please report regularly on the matter, as it is an important techno-industrial news item for Bangladesh!
