→ Institutions and energy policy
The main priorities of the energy policy are increasing

the energy supply options, private sector
participation and energy efficiency.
The Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MPEMR) is

responsible for the energy sector. Its Power Division is responsible for
power-related policies, while the Energy and Mineral Resources Division is
responsible for gas, petroleum products and coal.
The Ministry of Finance approves the investments in the energy sector.
Natural gas and coal BERC, Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission, regulates the sector. Its
have the highest priority in purpose is to manage the transparency and the equity of prices, control
the energy policy among the allocations of licences in the energy sector, and promote the
various supply options competitiveness of the markets; the only field in which the Commission
cannot intervene is in the exploration and production of gas.
The National Energy Policy established a “Five Fuel Strategy” for energy
sustainability and security. These include, in order of priority, natural gas,
coal, energy efficiency, renewables, and nuclear.
The Seventh Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) sets the development strategy of

the country, including energy and infrastructure issues. It specifies the
five-year guidelines for the energy sector: rapidly increasing electricity
generation, as well as the distribution and transmissions system, to
support demand, improving the involvement of private companies in the
power sector, diversifying primary fuel for electricity generation and using
alternative sources and nuclear power, using coal as the main source for
power generation, improving energy efficiency in power sector, exploring
the electricity trading option with neighbouring countries, and using
alternative sources of financing.
Electricity
The Power Cell, under the responsibility of the Power Division of MPEMR,
was created to support the power sector reform activities, to supervise
investments and to coordinate IPP projects.

The main objectives of the power sector reforms (2000) are bringing the
whole country under electricity service by 2020, improving efficiency by
increasing competition, ensuring an affordable electricity price, improving
the quality and reliability of supply, increasing the private sector
participation and exploring power exports with neighbouring countries.
In 1996, in order to increase the country’s electricity capacity, the

Government adopted a policy to open the electricity sector to the private
sector. Under the Private Sector Power Generation Policy (2004), private
players are given a variety of incentives like tax breaks and exemption
from import duties on equipment.
PSMP 2016 Power Sector Master Plans (PSMP) are adopted every 5 years. PSMP 2016
The Power Sector Master formulates an extensive energy and power development plan to 2041
Plan defines five key consistent with the long-term goal VISION2041, aiming to develop the
viewpoints country as one of the advanced countries by 2041. Towards the
achievement of this goal, PSMP 2016 defines “five key viewpoints”:
enhancement of imported energy infrastructure and its flexible operation;
efficient development and utilization of domestic natural resources (gas
and coal); construction of a robust, high-quality power network;
maximization of green energy and promotion of its introduction;
improvement of human resources and mechanisms related to the stable
supply of energy.
REB (Rural Electrification Board of Bangladesh) is responsible for rural

electrification.
The Seventh Five-year Plan includes the target of 23 GW of electricity

capacity in 2020 and to increase per capita energy consumption to
514 kWh and electricity coverage to 96%.
Nuclear
The country aims to install up to 4 000 MW of nuclear capacity by 2030.
The construction of the first reactor started in 2017 with commercial
operation planned in 2023.
Coal
In 2010, Bangladesh drafted a national coal policy which involves changes
to the country’s mining law. Foreign companies would be authorised to
develop mines within the framework of joint ventures with local
companies. Licences would be granted through calls for tenders. A
Committee for the development of the coal sector, made up of
professionals, would be in charge of revising the rate of royalties applied

to domestic coal mines. That rate, which until now was fixed at 6% for
open-pit mines and at 5% for underground mines, would be specified for
the various mines on the basis of their reserves and their geological
characteristics.
Energy Efficiency
The Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA)
is in charge of coordinating activities related to the development of energy
efficiency, renewables, and financing mechanisms.
MPEMR and SREDA published an Action Plan for Energy Efficiency &
Conservation (EE&C) in 2015 to coordinate energy efficiency programmes
and measures. The Plan targets a 15% reduction in the energy intensity of
the GDP by 2021 and 20% by 2030. The Government aims to achieve these
goals through policy instruments until 2020, and, afterwards, through
market-oriented measures. The target is for the industrial and building
sector to achieve the best global energy intensity levels by 2025. The
residential sector aims to have the highest efficiency appliances by 2030.
The energy efficiency measures are expected to lead to estimated energy
savings equal to 31%-50% of the 2013-2014 energy consumption levels in
the major energy-consuming sectors.
A number of energy efficiency and conservation measures are in place,

including waste heat recovery in industrial boilers, energy star labelling,
energy audits, a cooking stove programme and the standardisation of LED
lights. The seventh Five-year Plan (2016-2020) aims to reduce T&D losses
from 13% to 9%.
Renewables
In its Power System Master Plan 2016, the government set a target to
reach 2.5 GW of renewable capacity in 2021, and 3.9 GW in 2041. It
introduced incentive measures to mobilise the private sector. This target
is in line with its NDC target to increase the share of renewables in total
power generation to 10 % in 2021.
The Renewable Policy
sets a target to reach a 10% In 2012, the country implemented the Solar and Renewable Energy
share of renewables in its Association (BSREA), a platform for renewable energy products and
generation capacity by 2021 businesses. BSREA will work towards the standardisation and quality
control of all the renewable energy products and services being sold in
Bangladesh. It will also work to educate people about solar energy.
The regulator BERC is working towards the implementation of a feed-in

tariff scheme to develop the use of renewable energies. Draft Regulations

for a Tariff for Roof Top Solar PV were drawn up in 2016, but have yet to
be implemented.
As part of the new generation expansion initiative taken in response to

the growing demand, MPEMR has planned to increase off-grid solar PV to
500 MW through the 500 MW Solar Power Programme. The project is
being funded by the Asian Development Bank.
CO2
In its National Determined Contributions (NDC), Bangladesh announced it
aims to reduce GHG emissions by 40% (48 MtCO2eq) by 2030 compared to
a BAU scenario, of which 15% (or 36 MtCO2) assumes international
support.
CO2 emissions from energy combustion have risen steadily and more than
doubled since 2005.

→ Energy supply
Bangladesh has limited resources and is importing

increasing quantities of oil, gas and coal to meet the
growing demand.
Resources
Gas reserves reached 368 bcm (2017). Bangladesh has modest oil reserves
that are estimated at 3.9 Mt. Coal reserves are significant, at around
300 Mt.
Electricity
Installed capacity The country’s electricity capacity amounts to 13.5 GW (end of 2017), 97%
of which is thermal (67% gas, 31% oil, 2% coal), hydroelectric (2%) and
solar (1%).
In 2018, 16 power plants accounting for 2.5 GW of capacity have been

commissioned, including 450 MW of oil-fired power plants (Gazipur I and
II operated by Summit Group).
The renewable capacity is limited: 230 MW of hydroelectricity, 180 MW of
solar, and 3 MW of wind (end of 2017). Solar capacity reached 280 MW

Power generation Power generation is growing very rapidly (8%/year on average since 2010)
and reached 68 TWh in 2017. Natural gas accounted for 81% of that
amount, oil 16%, coal 2%, and renewables 1%.
The country’s electricity capacity is too small to meet the demand growth;
the old transport and distribution grids and the unauthorised connections
to the grid lead to frequent power cuts.

Power interconnections / The first power interconnection between Bangladesh and India was
exchanges commissioned in 2013, with a capacity of 500 MW. In February 2018,
NTPC won a tender to supply 300 MW of power both on a short-term
basis (June 2018 to December 2018) and on a long-term basis (January
2020 to May 2033). NTPC started exporting power to Bangladesh in
September 2018.

Oil
Most of the oil is imported, as national production only covers around 5%
of the country’s needs. The imports mainly consist of oil products (close to
80%). Oil product imports have more than doubled since 2000.
The country has a limited refining capacity of 35 500 bbl/d distributed in 2

refineries: Chittagong (33 000 bbl/d, commissioned in 1968) and Mongla
(2 500 bbl/d, commissioned in 2013). Domestic production of oil products
only covers ¼ of the consumption.
Gas
Natural gas production is increasing rapidly (5%/year, on average, since
2010) and reached 27.8 bcm in 2017, compared to 9.4 bcm in 2000.
The gas is mainly consumed for the production of electricity (61%); the
rest is used by the industrial sector (15%), the residential-tertiary sector
(14%), the transport sector (4%) and for non-energy uses (5%; fertilizers).

Coal
The country’s first and only coal mine (Barapukuria) started to produce in
1999 (capacity of around 1 Mt/year). In 2017, production reached 0.9 Mt.
Most of the production is used in industry: 83% in 2017 (mainly cement)
and around 15% for power generation (mainly the 250 MW coal power
plant in Barapukuria, which was brought into full operation in 2006).

→ Energy prices
Fuel prices are controlled and subsidised by the

Government.
Oil
Fuel prices are controlled by the Government and are not adjusted on a
regular basis. Prices were raised four times in 2011, but thereafter no further
adjustments were made until 2013 (11% hike for diesel, 5% hike for gasoline).
Bangladesh has kept prices unchanged over the last two years to help state-
owned Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation offset its previous losses. Gasoline
prices have dropped by 30% since 2014 and stood at US$1.03/l in 2018. Prices
for diesel were in 2018 US$0.86/l.

Prices were rising in nominal terms before 2014, although less than
inflation. The Government aims to cut BPDB’s losses, since the average
sales price is lower than the production costs, and to overcome power
shortages through investments. In 2014 the Government raised power
tariffs by an average of 7%. Since 2014, industry prices have been almost
constant and domestic prices have fallen by around 20%. Prices are
US$5.2c/kWh for households and US$11.8c/kWh for industry (2018).

Gas
In response to the rising cost of LNG imports, the BERC is planning to
increase gas prices by 93% for industry and by 25% for CNG. Most of the
proposed price hikes are expected to be borne by the fertiliser and power
sectors with planned increases of 372% and 206%, respectively. If this
proposal is accepted, the gas price to the domestic power sector will rise
from US$0.37c/kWh to US$0.97c/kwh cm.

→ Energy consumption
Energy consumption has increased at a fast rate since

2000. Households account for more than half of the
total consumption.
Energy consumption per capita is 0.25 toe, including around 340 kWh of
electricity (2017).
Although the country’s overall consumption is increasing quickly, driven

by rapid economic growth, it is 30% lower than the GDP (4.4%/year
compared to 6.5%/year for the GDP since 2010).
The gas share Gas is the main energy source consumed (57%), ahead of biomass (24%)
in the total energy mix and oil (14%) (2017).

The country’s final energy consumption has increased by 4.0%/year since

2000. Biomass represents 32% of final consumption, gas 31%, electricity
16%, oil 16% and coal 5% (2017).
Total electricity consumption has increased rapidly since 2000, at a rate of

6.3%/year until 2010 and 3.4%/year since then.
Gas consumption grew by 3.4%/year over 2000-2010. However, growth

stalled in 2011 due to supply issues and has slowed down since then,
averaging 0.5%/year in 2011-17.
Oil products are mainly used in transport (45%) and in the residential,
services and agriculture sectors (24%). Coal is mainly used in industry.

energy uses) and 13% for transport.

Industry consumes the largest share of the country’s electricity (56%).
Households and services account for 42%.
According to the World Bank, 76% of the population was electrified in

2016, 69% of which in rural areas and 94% in urban areas.

→ Issues and prospects
Bangladesh hopes to improve its energy security and

increase the use of domestic resources such as coal
and renewable energy. Bangladesh is also counting
on its upcoming nuclear power plants to meet the
long-term power demand.
Electricity
The BPBD electricity sector development plan (“Power System Master
Plan”, PSMP, 2016) covers the period up to 2041. It is aimed at improving
energy infrastructure, the efficient development and utilization of
domestic natural resources, the maximization of green energy and
promotion of its introduction, construction of a robust, high quality power
network and improvement of human resources and mechanisms related
to the stable supply of energy.
PSMP 2016 targets a power capacity of 24 GW (10% of renewable

2041 power mix:
35%% coal compared capacity) in 2021, 40 GW in 2030 and 60 GW (including 3.8 GW of
to 2% in 2017 renewables ) in 2040. The plan also targets 35% of gas and 35% of coal in
the power mix in 2041. The Vision 2021 Plan targets expects the private
sector to account for two-thirds of the total power generation in 2021,
from one-third at present.
BPBD is now faced with serious problems in implementing its power
projects. It has undertaken several large power projects, but most of them
have been postponed due to the lack of funds. If these plans are executed
on time, power production will soon exceed the demand. In addition,
under a joint venture and private sector investment, the Government also
took up several large power generation projects, but their future is also
uncertain.
Nuclear projects Rosatom has started construction of the country’s two first 1 200 MW
nuclear power units in Pabna, Rooppur-1 (November 2017) and Rooppur-2
(July 2018). The start of operation is scheduled for 2023 and 2024,
respectively, at the earliest. The total project cost is expected to reach
US$12.7 bn and Russia will provide a US$11.4 bn credit facility to cover up
to 90% of the costs. Rosatom will supply fuel for the reactors. The country
aims to install up to 4 000 MW of nuclear capacity by 2030.

Oil power projects United Group and HF Group have ordered a 310 MW Smart Power

total capacity of more than 12 GW by 2024; 5.5 GW are under
construction and eight power plants would be developed by state-owned
power utilities and seven by the private sector.
Construction of a 1 230 MW coal power plant project (2x 615 MW) has
started in Banshkhali in Chittagong. It should be commissioned in 2020,
but the project is facing strong local opposition and construction is on
hold.
Bangladesh-China Power Company Limited (BCPCL), a 50-50 joint venture

between China National Machinery Import and Export Corp. and NWPGCL
(North-West Power Generation), is developing the Kalapara coal fired
power project, which is made up of two 1 320 MW plants: Payra (ultra-
supercritical) and Patuakhali. Construction of the first one (Phase I) has
started in Payra (investment of US$2bn). The first of the two 660 MW
units should be commissioned in 2019 and the second one in 2023. In
Phase 2, BCPCL plans to invest US$1.56bn in Patuakhali for two 660 MW
units planned for operation in 2021-2022.
In 2014, China and Bangladesh signed an MoU on the development of a

1 320 MW ultra-supercritical (USC) coal-fired power plant in Moheshkhali,
in the southern district of Cox's Bazar. Under the terms of the agreement,
Huadian Hong Kong will build the power plant and the project should be
operational in 2024. The power plant will be operated by BPDB.
In 2013, BPDB and NTPC created a 50-50 joint venture, Bangladesh-India

Friendship Power Company Limited (BIFPCL), to build and operate a
1 320 MW coal-fired power plant at Rampal (Khulna). The plant will sell
power to BPDB under a 25-year agreement. The US$1.5bn power plant is
expected to start operating in 2021.
CPGCBL, Coal Power Generation Company Bangladesh Ltd (100% state-

owned) is building a 1 200 MW coal-fired power plant in the Bay of
Bengal. The project is scheduled to be commissioned in 2023. In August
2017, the EPC contract was signed with a consortium including Sumitomo,
Toshiba and IHI. The project is estimated to require US$4.6bn of
investments, of which US$3.7bn will be borrowed from the Japan
International Cooperation Agency (JICA) at an interest rate of 0.1%/year

over 30 years. The remaining US$0.9bn will be financed by the
government.
Gas power projects Twenty-nine gas power plants accounting for around 8.8 GW of capacity
are planned to be commissioned by 2022.

(Narayanganj district), south-east of Dhaka. The MoU for the total project
signed in 2016 has a combined capacity of 3 000 MW and the total
investment is estimated at US$3bn. The project will source gas from the
2 Mt/year floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) moored at
Maheshkhali Island in Cox's Bazar district, commissioned in August 2018.
In December 2017, ADB approved a US$583m debt financing programme
to support the project.
In 2017, NWPGCL and Siemens signed an MoU for the construction of an

LNG-fired CCGT in Dhankhali with three 1,200 MW units adjacent to the
1 320 MW Payra coal-fired plant currently under construction. Siemens
will build the plant worth US$2.8bn (including a US$2.4bn loan and a
US$400m equity participation). The first 1 200 MW phase is expected to
be commissioned in December 2021. The project also includes the
building of an LNG terminal at the site.
In January 2017, Pertamina signed an MoU with BPDB to develop an

integrated project comprising a 1.4 GW CCGT, a floating storage and
regasification unit (FSRU), mooring and off-loading infrastructure, and
sub-sea and onshore gas pipelines. The US$2bn project is scheduled to

begin construction in 2019 and is estimated to be completed within three
years from achieving financial close.
General Electric (20%), Mitsubishi (25%) and Summit Power (55%) set up a
joint venture in July 2018 to take part in a large 2 400 MW CCGT made up
of 4 units of 600 MW. The US$3bn project would include an LNG onshore
regasification terminal with a capacity of 1 500 mcf/d (15.5 bcm/year).
Construction should start as early as 2019 and the project should be
completed by 2023.
In addition, General Electric has signed another joint venture agreement

with BPDB for the construction of a 3 600 MW LNG-fired power project in
Moheshkhali. BPDB will own 51% of the project, while GE will own 30%,
and the remaining 19% will be left for a future strategic investor. The
US$2.8bn power project would include an associated LNG terminal. Its
commissioning date remains to be specified.
Renewable energy
Renewables Plans To meet 2.9 GW of renewable capacity, the Power Division plans to install
1 270 MW of solar, 1 150 MW of wind, 30 MW of biomass, 2 MW of
biogas, and 6 MW of hydro between 2017 and 2021.
Solar projects A total of 530 MW of solar power projects have been announced,
including three 100 MW plants expected to be commissioned in 2021 in
Faridpur-Ashuganj, Kishoreganj and Mollarhat.
Wind projects A 60 MW wind farm project has been authorized in Cox bazar and is
expected for 2019. It will be operated by US-DK Green Energy.
Interconnections projects India and Bangladesh have approved the development of the Radial inter-
connection line, a 1 000 MW power interconnection line between the
Suryamani substation in India and Comilla in Bangladesh, intended to
deliver power from the 726 MW Palatan thermal power plant in Gomati
(Tripura, India) to Bangladesh. ADB has approved a US$120m loan to
finance the construction and the Government will finance US$63m. The
project is expected to be completed in 2019. Siemens will be responsible
for engineering, installing and commissioning of the complete HVDC
system with a turnkey contract of US$145m.
Coal
Because of the insufficient gas production, the country aims to develop its
large coal resources in order to replace natural gas in electricity
generation. The Ministry hopes to produce 1.1 Mt/year by 2020,

5.7 Mt/year by 2030 and 11.2 Mt/year by 2041, and to develop
infrastructures to import 60 Mt/year by 2041. The Government plans to
reach 20 GW of coal-fired capacities by 2030.
In 2008, the Government authorised PetroBangla to start the exploitation

of a coal mine in Dighipara with a production capacity of 3 Mt/year
(reserves of 150 Mt). A feasibility study was started in 2017.
An important project for an open-pit mine in Phulbari is supported by
Global Coal Management (previously Asia Energy). The project is
estimated to cost between US$6bn-US$7bn and would also include the
construction of a thermal power plant of 2 000 MW and an export
terminal in Khulna. A US$100m loan would be granted by ADB. However,
there is serious opposition to the project, in particular because of the
substantial population displacement it would involve.
Gas
Due to the current gas deficit, estimated at more than 5 mcm/d, the
Government has suspended new gas connections to industrial,
commercial and household consumers since 2009 and is trying to increase
gas production and develop gas imports.
906 bcm of new gas
discoverable The Vision 2021 Plan reported a 50% probability of discovering new gas
with 50% probability reserves of 32 Tcf (906 bcm).
Exploration, production Daewoo has made a gas discovery in Block D-12 in the Bay of Bengal, in a
basin that is shared between Bangladesh and Myanmar. Bangladesh could
hold five prospective structures that would near three gas fields in
Myanmar having 8 tcf (226 bcm) of reserves. Daewoo has a contract with
the Bangladesh government that allows for exploration in deep seas until
2022. It plans to carry a 3D survey at Block 12 and, if findings are
confirmed, it will start drilling activities.
Gas pipelines In 2010 Bangladesh approved the project for a 345 km-long gas pipeline
with a capacity of 11 bcm/year between India and Myanmar. The practical
details are still under discussion. India wants to decrease the total cost by
transiting through Bangladesh, and the latter in turn is interested in the
possibility of connecting to the pipeline.
In January 2018, the government selected the bidders for the construction
of a 181-km long natural gas pipeline, which will run from Chittagong to
Feni and Bakhrabad and will deliver gas from the LNG import terminal
projects in Moheshkhali to the domestic market. The estimated total cost
of the pipeline is US$42m.

Gas LNG projects Summit Group is building a Floating LNG import terminal with a capacity
of 5.1 bcm/year on a BOOT basis with a 9-km subsea pipeline off
Moheshkhali. The terminal is expected for 2019 and will be transferred to
Petrobangla after 15 years.
Petronet LNG from India plans to invest US$740m in the development of a

7.5 Mt/year (10.1 bcm/year) LNG import terminal at the Kutubdia islands
off Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh. Petronet would source gas from
international markets and supply it to utilities in Bangladesh.
Another floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) project is under

consideration: a 2.7 bcm/year FSRU developed by Reliance Power.
Oil
Eastern Refinery Ltd, a subsidiary of BPC, plans to increase capacity of its
refinery in Chittagong, from 3 to 4.5 Mt/year and awarded a contract for
the expansion in 2016.
The government has signed a framework agreement with China for the
construction of a 220 km long oil pipeline, which will carry fuel from oil
tankers in the Bay of Bengal up to Chinese storage plants. The contract
foresees the construction of a diesel and crude oil storage tank at the
Moheshkhali Island on the Bay of Bengal (Bangladesh), a 146 km offshore
pipeline and a 74 km onshore pipeline to carry imported oil to a refinery in
Chittagong district. The total project cost is expected to reach
approximately US$550m. Its unloading capacity will reach 9 Mt/year.
