This document summarizes Bangladesh's Power System Master Plan from 2010. It outlines 6 plans to achieve the vision of stable power supply by 2030: 1) Develop domestic energy resources like coal and gas. 2) Establish a diversified fuel portfolio with 50% coal, 25% gas, and 25% other sources. 3) Introduce high efficiency technologies to reduce emissions. 4) Build necessary infrastructure through multi-sector cooperation. 5) Establish efficient regulations and organizations. 6) Reduce poverty through socioeconomic growth enabled by stable power. Key recommendations include prioritizing coal plant development and domestic coal mining as well as strengthening operations and maintenance capabilities.

3. Objectives:
 formulate the Master Plan for the attainment of stable power supply by achieving the
3Es; Economic Growth, Energy Security and Environmental Protection simultaneously
.
 reduce poverty in a period as swift as possible by achieving high economic growth.
 Planning electrification via the stabilization and efficiency of the electric power supply
system can be expected to reduce poverty
 promote development thatwill provide a self-
reinforcing cycle of poverty reduction
and 3E simultaneous achievement.
The structure of the Vision, Roadmap, Action Plan and Target is shown in the following
figure. The
Vision is proposed as Bangladesh’s long term strategic power development vision 2030. To
achieve
this Vision, 6 value-
up plans have been stipulated, where each value-
up plans have their own
targets
to achieve the plans
Fig : Bangladesh Long Term Power Development Plan 2030

4. Plan 1:
To actively develop domestic primary energy resources
Target:
 To maintain domestic primary energy supply over 50%
 To ensure secure a source of energy that is essential to the economy and stability.
 Domestic natural gas development
 Domestic coal development

5. Plan 2:
To establish the powersystem portfolio by fuel diversification
Target:
 Fuel composition ratio as of 2030: coal 50%, natural gas 25%, others 25%
 to tap into other power sources from outside the Bangladesh
 To achieve the best mix of energy supply including imported resources, it would be
required to use
economical and stable power source in consideration of environmental protection.
 Construction of imported coal power station
 Introduction of LNG facilities
 Construction of the oil fired power station
 Import the electricity generated by hydro power from the neighboring countries or
joint
development
 Development of domestic renewable energy (wind and solar power)

6. Plan 3:
To realize a low carbon society by introducing a high efficient power supply and low
CO2 emission technology .
Target:
 To improve 10 points thermal efficiency on average.
 to improve thermal efficiency by utilizing the proven Clean Coal Technology.
 using Ultra Super Critical (USC) technology as a part of the Clean Coal
Technology.
 reduction of NOx, SOx, and particulate matter.
 Development of domestic coal power station.
 Higher efficient gas power station.
 Reviewing O&M scheme.
 Energy conservation, Demand side management.

7. Plan 4:
To build an infrastructure necessary for stable power supply under joint coordination
by the multi-
sector
Target:
 To jointly build a deep sea port facility by power, industry and commercial sector
 to develop a gas transmission
line, a fuel center, a deep sea port, a domestic waterway, a railway and so on
 cooperation with other sectors such as industry and commercial
enterprises will be needed to achieve cost reduction and a synergy effect.
 Construction of deep sea port
 Improvement of the power transmission system
 Enhancement of gas transmission line
 Construction of fuel center
 Strengthening the domestic waterway
 Construction of Special Economic Zone adjacent to the deep sea port
Plan 5:
To build an efficient and effective mechanism, organization and regulations for stable
power supply.
Target:
 To build an efficient and effective mechanism, organization and regulations for stable
power supply
 To formulate regulations for compulsory regular inspection of power stations by
leadership of government.
 To revise the tariff structure to recover maintenance costs and future investment for
plant and equipment
 introduction of Power Development Surcharge into the power tariff
 Promotion of private investment to realize the Master Plan
 To create an effective and efficient power market

8. Plan 6:
To reduce the poverty through the growth of socio-
economy
Target:
 To promote the local community and mutual collaboration
 To spread stable and sustainable power supply
 To promote remote area electrification
 To promote the local industry, associated employment opportunities and income
increases
 To promote mutual collaboration between the power station and the local community

9. Fig.10: Location of Power Plant

10.  Coal field is mostly in southern part of Bangladesh. So coal based power plant need to
build in this region as raw material and less transport cost
 If we use imported coal that need easy transport system and less time consumption
for coal based power plant.So plant may be near bay of bangle.
 There are several power plants run on gas all gas field is east-north region and for easy
distribution system gas based power plant may build in this region.
Fuel diversification:
 What kind of fuel we use or which kind of power plant we build is directly dependent
on fuel diversity.
 Over decades, price of crude oil is increase drastically but coal price wasn’t increased
significantly.
Power demand vs GDP:

11.  We assume 6 to 8% GDP
Coal production:
 We need to increase coal production
Coal based plant:

12. Co2 emission:
 We ensure the minimum amount of co2 emission.
 Use ultra-
supercritical boiler.

Priority of recommendations:
 In order to implement the development of coal-
fired power stations which are the
core of this Master Plan smoothly, it is essential to secure fuel supply, prioritizing the
development of port facilities for import coal and the development of domestic coal
mines.
 government to implement some measures to strengthen the O&M ability of power
companies so that the increasing newly developed power stations would keep them
full performance for long time.
