In this issue

In the last 6 years Bangladesh failed to bring in any new primary fuel other than imported liquid fuel for rental power plants. Exploration of own coal remains a far cry while import of coal and LNG may still take several years to implement. The country has attained a power generation capacity of over 12,000 MW, including 500 MW import from India. Due to fuel supply constraints and other reasons, the generation could reach beyond 8,000 MW very rarely. Still there is hardly any hue and cry for power now, as the demand in last winter remained low. However, the government may not achieve its targeted power from coal in its 2021 vision as many critical works are lagging behind the target. On the other hand, the gas supply security remains vulnerable for poor vision, inept management, and bureaucratic interference. In the last 7 years, gas production could be increased by 1,000 MMCFD, but the deficit remains same at 500 MMCFD. Fuel supply challenges must be met with genuine implementable programs and dynamic management. Unless fuel supply challenges are met, the energy security cannot be achieved. Without energy security, the national vision to become mid-income country will turn into far cry.

Energy & Power Magazine Description:

Publisher: Energy-&-Power

Category: Business

Language: English

Frequency: Fortnightly

Energy & Power (EP) is the first and only full-fledged fortnightly magazine that deals with the much cried over energy and power sector in Bangladesh. Since its inception in June 16, 2003, EP is working very hard to

a) Develop public consciousness on sustainable and even development of energy sector;

b) Assist the policy makers in assuming pragmatic policies for a balanced development of the energy sector;

c) Continuous supply of information among public; and

d) Develop a group of reporters in this field

Bangladesh is an energy deficit country like other countries in the region and most of the people do not have adequate access to the energy and power. The country is completely dependent on fossil energy source; at the same time, it is one of the most inefficient energy using countries in the world.

It lacks efficiency in planning, management, generation, distribution, load management and even at the end user level consumption.

In spite of the above drawbacks, issues relating to utilization of renewable energy, exploring alternative use of energy, planned use of environment friendly energy are significantly undermined in Bangladesh.

The biggest challenge of Bangladesh is to find a path for balanced growth of its energy sector. Despite its resource constraints, EP dynamically strives to provide theenergy sector with a flow of information and create public awareness; so that policymakers get guidelines and platforms for its sustainable development.
