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, 2017) 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:

5

a) Construction Phase EMP

b) Operation Phase EMP

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 during the period of July to December,

2017.

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

6

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.

4.0 Compliance to Environmental Management Plan

The Environmental impacts and mitigation for this project fall into two categories,

based on the phase in which the mitigation will be provided and the parties who will

take the necessary action. These are as follows:

1. Construction Phase EMP

2. Operation Phase EMP

Since at present this project is in construction stage, special issues of EMP and relevant environmental issues and their mitigation measures for construction stage of the project are being carried out and addressed in this report.

Based on the Environmental Management Plan, the Compliance Status on Environmental Issues in Upgradation of Khulna 150 MW PPP to 225 MW CCPP Project for Construction is given below in the Table.

4.1 Major environmental activities of the project

Major Environmental Activities of the project which will be during construction period are given below:

I. Influx of workers II. Transportation of equipment, materials and personnel; storage of materials III. Construction activities, including operation of construction equipment

It is noted that this power plant already produced power to national grid from 26

June, 2016. For this reason the above mention activities already completed but

project period was June, 2017 and Loan closing June, 2018.

5.0 Safeguards Monitoring Results and Unanticipated Impacts

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).

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, 2017. 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,

2017.
