As winter fades, rising temperatures are pushing up electricity demand nationwide. This summer coincides with Ramadan and peak irrigation, intensifying pressure on the power grid. With fuel shortages and financial constraints limiting energy supply, concerns over load-shedding are growing. To address the crisis, the government has instructed authorities to take immediate measures, including setting air conditioners no lower than 25°C and settling outstanding dues of independent power producers to keep plants running. Officials estimate March’s peak demand will stay within 15,700 megawatts, but the real challenge will come by September when demand could hit 18,000 MW. Even in the summer of last winter, when daily electricity demand was 230–240 million units, there was a shortfall of 1–2 million units almost daily. Last April 30, the country’s highest-ever power generation reached 16,477 MW, producing 344 million kWh. This summer, the demand is expected to match or exceed that level, potentially causing a 10–20% shortfall. If the government’s projections hold, shortages may remain within 15–20%, but efficient management is crucial. With proper load distribution, power cuts of up to 2,000 MW could be limited to one-hour intervals, two to three times daily. However, experts warn that unmanaged cooling loads could push the shortfall to 25% from April onward. While urban areas may face two to three rounds of load-shedding, rural areas could experience longer, more severe disruptions beyond scheduled outages.

CAN WE END LOAD-SHEDDING DURING RAMADAN?

Ramadan, the fasting month for Muslims, comes with many a challenge in Bangladesh. A government’s success or failure is often measured by how effectively it overcomes challenges like keeping the price spiral in check, ensuring an adequate supply of some of the special items whose demand spikes during this holy month (such as dates and fruits) and making the entire month free of electricity outage or load-shedding. This year’s fasting month starts on the first day of March (the Bengali month of Chaitra), when the summer season will start bringing heat and humidity. Hopefully, the nights may remain a bit cooler, though the days are expected to be scorching. The demand for electricity, especially during the daytime, will increase, putting extra pressure on the generation and its smooth supply. Fans and air conditioners (a privilege for the affluent) are expected to run in full swing, while the use of power for lighting the houses will increase.

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.
