The performance of the power sector in the last two decades fell short of
expectations. The present generation capacity is not adequate to meet the
peak power demand. The present generation capacity is not adequate to
meet the peak power demand. Present peak demand is 6000 MW and
available capacity is 3800-4200 MW, resulting in anticipated load shed is
800-1200MW (BPDB 2009). About 87 percent of the power generation
capacity is gas based, 5.5percent is imported oil based, 5.0 percent is coal
and 2.5 percent is hydro-based. Power generation is highly dependent on
natural gas.
Currently gas production is not sufficient to serve the existing power
generation requirement. Further, due to gas transmission and distribution
bottlenecks, the gas cannot be transported in some locations, resulting in
inadequate power generation. Fuel diversity is essential to meet power
generation needs in the face of gas shortage and high oil prices in the
international market.
Available resources:
NATURAL GAS:
Bangladesh has a good amount of reserved natural gas which has been contributing a lot in the
urban areas for cooking and heating. However, rural people are totally neglected from its best use.
Natural gas has access only 0.2 percent in the rural areas and 60 percent in the urban area in 2006.
It is expected that NG coverage will be increased to ten percent and 100 percent in the rural and
urban areas respectively by 2015.
SUSTAINABLE BIOMASS
About 80 percent of population is dependent on biomass fuel. It is expected that access
of SB will be increased to 30 percent by 2015.biomass (SB) has access one percent for
cooking/heating as modern fuel. It is expected that access of SB will be increased to 30
percent by 2015.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
The objective is to maximize the use of renewable energy sources to lower GHG
emission and ensuring energy security. The annual average cost for electricity end uses
is BDT 47,351.37 million where capital cost is BDT 21,779.69 million and recurrent cost is
BDT 25,571.68 million. The annual average recurrent cost for Liquid Fuel End-uses is
BDT 2,570.84 million. The total cost for entire energy interventions for the period 2009-
2015 is estimated at BDT 897,961.58 million. The total capital cost of interventions BDT
217,174.51 million and total recurrent cost is BDT 680,787.07 million with the total for 7
years.
