1.1 Introduction:
Bangladesh's energy infrastructure is quite small, insufficient and poorly managed.
The per capita energy consumption in Bangladesh is one of the lowest (136 kWH) in
the world. Noncommercial energy sources, such as wood fuel, animal waste, and crop
residues, are estimated to account for over half of the country's energy consumption.
Bangladesh has small reserves of oil and coal, but very large natural gas resources.
Commercial energy consumption is mostly natural gas (around 66%), followed by oil,
hydropower and coal.
Electricity is the major source of power for most of the country's economic activities.
Bangladesh's installed electric generation capacity was 8525 MW in 2013;[1] only
three-fourth of which is considered to be available. Only 40% of the population has
access to electricity with a per capita availability of 136 kWh per annum. Problems in
the Bangladesh's electric power sector include corruption in administration, high
system losses, and delays in completion of new plants, low plant efficiencies, erratic
power supply, electricity theft, blackouts, and shortages of funds for power plant
maintenance. Overall, the country's generation plants have been unable to meet
system demand over the past decade.
Mission Statement
Ensure uninterrupted and quality power supply for all by 2020 through improvement
in generation, transmission and distribution systems.
Major Functions
All activities related to power generation, transmission and distribution;
Manage all matters and policies related to the Power sector;
Expand, rehabilitate and modernize power generation, transmission and
distribution services in line with the increasing national demand and prepare
action plans and programs accordingly;
Encourage private and joint venture investment in the Power sector in addition
to the government investment;
Improve the standard of living of the rural poor through rural electrification
and the introduction of renewable energy;
Monitor revenue earnings and commercial activities.

Strengths
Government incentives
Bangladesh government has announced Fiscal incentives and incentives for foreign
investors to facilitate the investment in the power plants. Exemption from corporate
income tax for a period of 15 years has been announced for the investors. They are
also allowed to import plant and equipment and spare parts up to a maximum of ten
percent (10%) of the original value of total plant and equipment within a period of
twelve (12) years of commercial operation without payment of customs duties. For
foreign investors government announced tax exemption on royalties, technical knowhow and technical assistance fees. The foreign investors are also exempted from
paying tax on interest on foreign loans. They are also enjoying tax exemption on
capital gains from transfer of shares by the investing company.
Weaknesses
Decreasing supply of Natural Gas
33
The only natural resource that Bangladesh has got enough is natural gas. But the
supply of natural gas is decreasing day by day. Although government is trying to lease
the gas blocs to the 46 foreign investors still the total supply of Natural Gas, Coal and
any other fossil fuels to the national grid is quite low and it is not sufficient to ensure
enough supply to the upcoming gas based power projects.
Energy infrastructure
Bangladesh's energy infrastructure is quite small, insufficient and poorly managed.
And no initiative is taken to improve the infrastructure. With this type of poor
infrastructure it is quite difficult to reach the goal of the government to produce the
additional power in the coming years.
34
Opportunities
Joint venture with India
Bangladesh is going to establish joint venture power plants with India especially with
its north eastern states. Indian govt. invites Bangladesh to invest in power sector in
joint venture basis which will increase both countries power generation. Bangladesh
government recently got an invitation from the state government of Tripura to invest
in a joint venture power plant from which Bangladesh will get 100 MW power in its
national grid.
Renewable energy
Bangladesh has great opportunity in using renewable power sources. Bangladesh has
15 MW solar energy capacities through rural households and 1.9 MW wind power in
Kutubdia and Feni. Bangladesh has planned to produce 5% of total power generation
by 2015 & 10% by 2020 from renewable energy sources like air, waste & solar
35
energy. Using more renewable power sources will increase the total power
production.
Threats
Increasing price of raw material
The price of oil in the international market is increasing since the depression of 2009.
Recently the economic crisis in Europe and political instability of Middle East leads
the international market of oil towards an unpredictable situation. As oil is one of the
main raw materials for power plants and Bangladesh government imports most of
their oil from international market, the increasing price of oil in the international
market will be a treat for our power industry.

electricity can be from the load-shedding made during the peak demand of summer
which is about 1800 Megawatt each day. If all the existing plants could be maintained
properly the supply of electricity could have been more.

and accountants. The government has lost around Tk 600 crore last year, the PDB
estimates said.
42
Every month more than 30,000 Solar Home Systems (SHS) are being installed in the
rural areas of the country. But this rate could be a great deal higher if the cost of
owning one SHS could be substantially lowered from its current price of the
equivalent of $ 300. Since this is a big price tag to be paid by an average rural
homestead, the consequences have been restricted ownership of SHS. However, the
ones who have set up SHS are also able to bear the costs gradually by paying through
installments.
But the faster rate of SHS ownership involves scaling down its purchase cost or
installation cost. And this can be done mainly through discouraging import of solar
panels and making them locally. But even the local manufacture of SHS will not quite
lead to relatively affordable costs of the same till the local makers are enabled to
decrease their production costs.
But importers still need to pay 40 to 50 per cent import duty on other components of a
panel. Clearly, there is a need to reduce to the reasonable minimum duties on the
components to cut costs in the installation and maintenance of solar power devices.
Bangladesh has one of the highest VAT/taxes on raw materials used by the solar
power industry. If VAT/ taxes are removed sufficiently, then it should become
possible to reduce the cost of a SHS by 40 per cent. If these costs are reduced, then
solar can become competitive with diesel generators. Government and people will
both benefit from not requiring the import of diesel to run irrigation pumps, less load
shedding and more productivity.
Feed in tariff policy had been very effective in promoting solar in most western
countries. India also has a feed in tariff policy. Under this policy, a solar-system
installer can sell electricity to the national grid at a slightly higher price. This will
encourage urban dwellers to install solar-systems and feed the extra electricity to grid
line. We can transform every urban building into a powerhouse through the effective
implementation of feed in tariff policy.
Solar electrification of rural areas where the greatest number of Bangladeshis has
their existence will effectively solve the problem of reaching of the blessing of
power to the greatest number of people at the soonest. The availability of power, of
course, will be a big boost in helping people to increase their income in many
different ways.

3.3 Findings
Investment or participation of private sector in electricity generation is at the
minimum.
Corruption is at higher level in this sector.
Huge amount of system loss in the power production process.
Delays in completion of power projects are very common in all power plants.
Unskilled people hired by government.
Government depend on single energy (gas) and entity for electricity generation
Solar setup cost is very high.
Inadequacy of supply of electricity compared to demand
Dependency on single energy (gas) for electricity generation
Shortage of electricity is not attributed to generation alone but transmission
and distribution are also responsible for the existing short fall
Limited use of renewable energy
Coal-based power plants using domestic and imported coal;
Bangladesh recently signed a contract to set up a 1,000 MW power plant at
Rooppur, 200 km (125 miles) northwest of the capital Dhaka. Signed a
contract with India for power import.
Some big projects are to be implemented in future.

3.1: Conclusion
In conclusion, now we can say the power industry of Bangladesh has a lot of
opportunity although there are many obstacles present in the industry. If the
government can implement all the projects that are initiated to increase power
production then the industry could be a very effective industry for the country. As
development of business is very much dependent on the power industry, so if this
industry can reach to its maximum then other business sectors will also get the facility
of this development. Hence, the development of power industry is essential for the
development of business as well as the overall economic development of the country.
The goal of the government regarding this industry is optimistic and promising. If the
government reaches its goal then the industry will surely be an independent industry
which will facilitate the development of the country. Finally, I can say that the
government and private sectors should take necessary actions to improve the power
industry of Bangladesh so that this industry can operate efficiently and facilitate the
national development of the country.
3.2: Recommendations
From the above report now I have a clear idea about the present situation of power
industry of Bangladesh. The power industry of Bangladesh has a lot of weaknesses
but at the same time it has a lot of opportunities also. The prospect of the industry is
positive. It is a promising industry. From my study on this industry, I recommend the
following for the betterment of the industry.
