By the acute mechanical system, heavy pressurized boiled steam water spins the turbine at 3000 RPM. The turbine utilizes the power of the spin and generates electricity.

The primary fuel of water boiling in the Ghorashal Power Station (GPS) is coal and gas. River Shitalakshya is the primary source of supplying water. After using water, it emits it again into the river.

Ghorashal Power Station Location And Contact Information

Ghorashal Power Station is a property of the Government of Bangladesh and is under the (BPDB). So, BPDB’s website is the official website for the plant. Now GPS contact information and location details are given below:

GPS is the largest power plant in the history of Bangladesh. The power station supplies electricity in the whole area of Bangladesh before others power generation plants are built. It’s one of the renowned power plants that contributes as a primary power grid of BPDB (Bangladesh power development board).

Once it is failed to supply the necessary electricity depending on this grid, load shedding becomes severe in the following region. It shows how vital the GPS is.
