Bangladesh’s gas sector has spent years trapped in decline amid shrinking production, persistent shortages, and plans that never quite materialized. So the cautious optimism emerging today feels unusual, even slightly fragile. For the first time in a long while, there are signs that the country may be inching toward a more stable future. But that hope depends on whether long-delayed decisions finally turn into action. The reality remains tough. Daily demand stands at roughly 4,200 MMCFD, yet the country falls short by about 1,500 MMCFD. Experts believe the deficit could stop widening, and even begin to narrow by the early 2030s, if waste is reduced, efficiency enforced, and demand kept under control. But that will only happen if the government delivers on critical tasks: completing the 150-well drilling program, fast-tracking the pipeline to bring Bhola’s gas to the national grid, and expanding LNG import capacity. Petrobangla points to progress. Nine rigs are now operating with the number set to rise to 11 soon. Officials say this new capacity can finally push drilling at the pace long promised. Yet scepticism persists. Previous plans were bold too, but often stalled mid-way, undermining confidence in the system. Even if drilling succeeds, gas will remain stranded unless pipelines, import terminals, and transmission networks advance in step. If the next government can coordinate these pieces and avoid past delays, Bangladesh may finally reverse its long slide and move toward a more secure energy future. If not, another decade of shortages looms.

Energy & Power Description:

Yayımcı: Energy-&-Power

Kategori: Business

Dil: English

Sıklık: 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
