The Chittagong power station is a proposed a 1320 MW coal-fired unit being developed by Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) as part of a Public-Private Partnership slated to be commissioned by June 2015.

In September 2012 it was reported that a proposal by Malaysia's Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) for installation and operations of the plant had been selected by Bangladesh Power Division. The plant would be a joint venture, 50-50 share between TNB and the power board, with an estimated cost of RM6.6 billion (US$2.15 bil). The plant would use imported coal.
