The 400kV transmission line from Ruppur to Gopalganj has been successfully launched, marking a major milestone in integrating electricity from the Ruppur Nuclear Power Plant into Bangladesh’s national grid.

The 158-kilometre-long line, with 414 towers, was fully operational from 3:30 PM today. This line is the third and final major transmission route, each capable of handling 2,000 megawatts.

Earlier, the Ruppur-Baghabari 230kV line and Ruppur-Bogura 400kV line were activated in June 2022 and April 2024, respectively.

PGCB Executive Engineer Enayet Karim confirmed that the project was completed on 29 May, successfully achieving the goal of nuclear power transmission into the national grid.
