Nature of business
1.3
The principal activity of the Company is to generate electricity, to sell such generated electricity to Bangladesh Power
Development Board (BPDB) and to acquire fuel required for such electricity generation from home and abroad. For
this purpose, the Company has set up a nominally rated 110 MW (KPCL-I) liquid fuel-fired, convertible to dual fuel-fired
(liquid gas), barge mounted power plant in Khulna, Bangladesh. Since inception the Company has been supplying
electricity to the national grid of Bangladesh through selling the same to BPDB under Power Purchase Agreement
(PPA) between the Company and BPDB.
The Company has two other units, KPCL-II and KPCL-III, which were awarded two separate contracts by BPDB
to supply electricity under the Contract for Supply of Electricity on Rental Basis. KPCL-II and KPCL-III have set up
the nominally rated 115 MW and 40 MW liquid fuel-fired, rental power plant respectively in Khulna and Jessore,
Bangladesh for generation of electricity. The principal activity of the units is to supply electric power and energy to
BPDB on rental basis for a period of five years (extended for further five years as explained in note 1.4). KPCL-II
commenced commercial operation from 1 June 2011 and KPCL-III from 29 May 2011.
Amalgamation of Khulna Power Company Unit II Ltd. and Khanjahan Ali Power Company Ltd.
On 22 March 2015, the Honourable High Court Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh issued an order giving
effect to a Scheme of Amalgamation under Company Matter No. 322 of 2014. The High Court ordered that under
the amalgamation scheme, the entire undertaking of Khulna Power Company Unit II Ltd. and Khanjahan Ali Power
Company Ltd. (the transferor companies) as going concerns will be transferred to and vested in the Khulna Power
Company Ltd. (the transferee company) with an effective date of 30 September 2014.
Accordingly both subsidiaries, Khulna Power Company Unit II Ltd. (KPCL-II) and Khanjahan Ali Power Company
Ltd. (KPCL-III), have been merged with Khulna Power Company Ltd. with the sanction of the Honourable High Court
Division of the Supreme Court of Bangladesh in terms of an application submitted by both the transferor and transferee
companies as per Section 228 read with Section 229 of the Companies Act, 1994. Though the Scheme of Amalgamation
