5. Power Plant Details:
 Sponsor: Bangladesh-India Friendship Power Company Pvt Ltd.
(BIFPCL)
 Parent company: Bangladesh Power Development Board.
 Location: Khulna, Bangladesh
 Gross Capacity: Phase I: 1320 MW (2 x 660 MW); Phase II: 1320 MW
(2 x 660 MW)
 Projected in service: 2021
 Fuel: Coal

6. Disadvantages
 The proposed coal-based Rampal Power Plant will bring more harm
than good for the country. Rampal Power Plant will bring 81 percent of
loss against only 19 percent good for the country…the project will cause
environmental damage for the country’s largest mangrove forest,
Sundarbans.
 If the power plant is established, the ecosystem, environment and
wildlife of the Sundarbans will be badly affected and it will be
impossible to bring back the natural state of the forest. the coal-based
power plant will also damage the surface water and agriculture of the
surrounding areas and affect the livelihood of local people.
 The research findings shows that climate, topography, land use pattern,
air and water quality, wetlands, floral and faunal diversity and captive
fisheries will be affected permanently due to proposed power plant.

7. Disadvantages:
It says increasing water logging condition, air pollution,health
hazards and destruction of agriculture will happen due to the plant.
