Bangladesh's Development
Power and energy
☐ Due to pressure on import with limited
available forex reserve, domestic energy
supply and power generation have been
started to be curtailed
➤ This is evident in case of less supply of LNG
➤ Maximum load curve indicates a fluctuating
trend in power generation in recent months
(June-July,22)
➤ The amount of load shedding is likely to be
higher than what is officially announced
(1500-2000 MW) - it was 2556 MW in 18

emerged as an added tension as a
significant part of it needs to be paid in
USD At present payment due is USD 1.5
