Apart from power generation and distribution, power transmission is one of the most vital issues in the power sector management. Although it is not very often discussed, power transmission plays the most important role in reaching the generated power to the distribution companies. Without a good transmission system, the goal of power sector cannot be achieved. At present, transmission is the most dependable system of the whole power sector thanks to Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) for its success. The government has a big plan to expand the transmission network across the country side by side with increasing the generation capacity. The officials of transmission system management are working hard to improve efficiency and set regional and international standards of power transmission. Its main success is that no power station had to be shut down for lack of transmission facilities. However, a few transmission lines had to run under capacity for lack of power generation. Another success is completing the work of power import from India. We hope the efficiency of power transmission system will improve further.

Energy & Power Magazine Description:

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.
