Energy crises are often discussed in megawatts and million cubic feet. But in Bangladesh, the crisis has now revealed its most human face – in kitchens without flames. When households cannot cook regular meals, energy policy stops being abstract and becomes deeply personal. The current shortages of piped gas, LPG, and even electric cooking appliances reflect not just a temporary disruption but years of fragmented planning and misplaced priorities. For decades, piped gas was treated as a permanent solution for urban households. LPG was promoted as the fallback, yet left entirely to market forces. When sanctions, shipping constraints, and financial stress converged, the system cracked. Electric cooking, long discussed as part of the clean energy transition, arrived not by design but by desperation. What makes this moment alarming is not only the severity of the shortage but the absence of resilience. Households have no affordable, reliable option to switch to when one fuel fails. That is a policy failure. Clean cooking is a Sustainable Development Goal, but it must also be treated as a national energy-security priority. The way forward requires abandoning fuel silos. Piped gas, LPG, and electric cooking must compete on transparent pricing. Cooking fuel should be recognized as green energy, eligible for financing support and long-term planning. Above all, policymakers must accept a hard truth: Bangladesh can no longer promise gas in every kitchen. What it must promise instead is reliability, choice, and dignity—so that no family is left wondering how to cook the next meal.

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

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.
