In this issue

The BNP’s overwhelming electoral victory offers political stability at a time when Bangladesh’s power and energy sector stands on fragile ground. Yet a strong mandate alone will not keep the lights on. The new government inherits a system burdened by rising import dependence, declining domestic gas production, growing arrears, and subsidy pressures that strain the national budget. Installed generation capacity may exceed demand on paper, but fuel shortages, unpaid bills, and infrastructure bottlenecks threaten real-world supply, especially during Ramadan and the summer peak. Short-term firefighting will be unavoidable. Clearing arrears, securing foreign currency for imports, and ensuring uninterrupted LNG and coal supply are immediate priorities. But the real test lies in reform. Domestic gas exploration must accelerate, Production Sharing Contracts must be finalized, LNG infrastructure decisions must be revisited, and renewable expansion must be placed on a realistic but urgent footing. Subsidy reduction cannot rely solely on tariff hikes in an already high-cost environment. Instead, supply costs must fall through better fuel mix decisions, phasing out expensive oil-based generation, and maximizing lower-cost alternatives. Perhaps most critically, investor confidence must be restored. Policy reversals and uncertainty have shaken trust. Stability and predictability will determine whether new capital flows into the sector. The government’s promise to create 15 million jobs depends fundamentally on reliable, competitively priced energy. Economic growth cannot occur in the dark. If the new administration succeeds in stabilizing and reforming the energy sector, it will lay the foundation for broader national progress.

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.
