In this issue

Bangladesh must deserve appreciation for progressing well in achieving the MDGs and going ahead of other Asian countries in this regard. The country also made significant achievements in power generation in the last few years reducing loadshedding to a great extent and bringing 65 percent of the population under the grid power. But the present government is not successful in increasing gas production keeping pace with the constant increase in demand. It has completely failed to mine own coal and ensure its proper utilization. The government must now focus on its plan to ensure electricity for all by the year 2021 to make the country a middle-income one. The dream of energy security is still unfulfilled. Moreover, political unrest at the fag end of this government has raised concern about continuation of the energy sector projects and ensuring energy security for the people. Sustainability of the steady economic growth will largely depend on the supply of energy as the country lagged much behind in ensuring primary energy. Therefore, it should be the top priority of the present government and the future one.

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.
