CANCEL ORION MATARBARI 635 MW
COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT
The recent approval of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report for Orion Group’s proposed 635 MW coal-fired power plant in Matarbari, Maheshkhali, Cox’s Bazar has sparked widespread opposition from civil society groups, environmental organizations, and local communities. Bangladesh ratified the Paris Climate Agreement in 2016, committing to move away from coal and fossil fuels in favor of renewable energy. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) similarly stress the need to reduce reliance on fossil energy.
