The document discusses the power sector in Bangladesh. It provides an overview of the sector including current generation capacity, transmission lines, distribution lines, and access to electricity. It describes the hierarchy of power sector structures and issues like transmission losses and interruptions. It notes a fundamental problem is a shortage of natural resources. There is a growing gap between electricity supply and demand. Initiatives to address this include adding 9,000 MW of new capacity and developing cross-border electricity trade with India. Ongoing power plant projects include a nuclear plant and coal plant. Meeting financing needs of $9.5 billion for generation and $9.52 billion for gas infrastructure by 2025 is a major challenge.

7500 MW on avg.

4. Hierarchy of structure
5/14/2016 4
BPDB generates &
sends high voltage to
PGCB & it stepdown
voltage to send to
consumers

5. Transmission loss & interrupts
5/14/2016 5
Year by year
transmission loss
Is increasing &
then decrease
tend in BPDB but
interrupt is
decreasing rate.

6. Fundamental Problems
5/14/2016 6
Shortage of
natural
resourse

7. Gap between supply &
demand
5/14/2016 7
Demand is on
rise & supply
is trying to
cope with

8. Initiatives for mitigation
5/14/2016
Steps taken to add around 9000 MW to the grid
Reached understanding with India for cross border trade
Renewable energy development through strengthening
SEDA
 Development of new transmission facilities e.g. 400 KV
lines, NLDC, shunt compensation project etc.
Development of distribution network
DSM measures

Ruppur
nuclear plant
& Rampal coal
plant are also
on process

10. Financial Requirements
Generation : 7,000 M US $
Transmission : 1,000 M US $
Distribution : 1,500 M US $
Total for Power : 9,500 M US $
LNG terminal : 320 M US $
20-26 tcf Gas by 2025 : 7,700 M US $
Gas Transmission : 1,500 M US $
Total for Gas : 9,520 M US $

12. Future Challenges
Sustained primary fuel supply: gas, coal and petroleum
products
Financing capital intensive projects
Enhancing operational and financial efficiency and
transparency
Improving sector efficiency by strengthening regulation
capacity and ensuring good governance

New source
of energy is
necessary

13. Conclusion
Government is committed to realize it’s ‘Vision’.
Government is committed to ensure transparency in the
procurement process
Private Sector will play a key role to meet the challenge of
huge amount of financing requirement
Continuous efficiency improvement ensuring good
governance is key for sustainable development
Concerted efforts from all quarters can ensure affordable and
quality power supply to the people of Bangladesh
