The government is preparing to sell the fly ash generated at the Norochcholai coal power plant to five companies.

The government says that the currently functioning unit at this power plant and the unit expected to be operational in September would generate some 150,000 tons of fly ash annually.

This fly ash can be used in the cement manufacturing process and other activities by the industrial sector.

The government says Cabinet approval has been granted for the sale of this fly ash to five qualified companies.
