For anyone living in Dhaka, the daily struggle with traffic and toxic air has become a grim routine. From schoolchildren to office workers, everyone breathes in the same dust and diesel fumes. That’s why the government’s new plan to introduce 400 electric buses by 2030 feels like a breath of fresh air—literally and figuratively. This initiative, backed by the World Bank, could mark a turning point for a city that has long suffered from neglect in public transport planning. Cleaner, quieter electric buses won’t just reduce emissions, they are expected to offer a safer, more dignified way to commute for millions. It is a much-needed step toward making Dhaka more livable. But let us be honest—Dhaka has seen plenty of big promises before. What matters now is how this plan is carried out. Will outdated, smoke-belching buses finally be taken off the roads? Will commuters finally get relief from the chaos? Will the politics that often derail progress be kept at bay? Experts are right to urge caution: start small, get it right, and then scale up. Local capacity must also be built so that Bangladesh is not forever dependent on imports. And let us not forget the workers—drivers, mechanics, and helpers—who need to be part of this transition. This is not just a bus project. It is a chance to clean the air, modernize transport, and give Dhaka’s people a city they can move through and breathe in without harm. Let’s not waste that chance. Energy & Power steps into its 23rd year of publication on 16 June this year. Marking the occasion, we hope to bring out our anniversary issue in September.

Interim Govt's Scorecard In Energy Sector

From August 2024 to mid-June 2025, ten months have whistled past. For a non-political, unelected regime inheriting a trouble-prone energy and power sector, it is not enough time to restructure, reorganize, and turn things around. But ten months is also not too little to expect formulation of policy changes, planning of reforms, and launching of programs for good governance, transparency, and accountability. Judging from the prevailing situation in Bangladesh's power and energy sector, the interim government could have introduced fundamental changes to bring the derailed sector back on track. Achieving sustainable energy security still appears to be a significant struggle.

Energy & Power Description:

الناشر: Energy-&-Power

فئة: Business

لغة: English

تكرار: 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.

Code of Ethics

EP believes that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy. The duty of a journalist is to further those ends by seeking truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues and professional integrity is the cornerstone of a journalist's credibility. We strive to serve the public with thoroughness and honesty.

The EP editorial policy is to share a dedication to ethical behavior and uphold the zero conflict of interest principles and highest standards of practice.

EP believes in

o Seeking truth and reporting the same

o Minimize harm
