5. Addressing the Reform in the Power Sector
5.3 Overcapacity should be significantly reduced
•
Over capacity has increasingly become a
concerning issue
As much as 60% capacity is currently
unutilized (16 May 2021)
A plant wise analysis shows that majority of
plants remain idle as high as 100% in a
particular day (16 May 2021)

Such inefficiency caused high capacity payment
to a large number of enterprises
This caused a rise in average unit price of
electricity as high as Tk.1500 per kwh
Such huge cost burden is increasingly getting
difficult for the BPDB to accommodate its loss
and force it to take loan from the government
BPDB is at present the highest recipient of
cash loan from the government.
.
BPDB should revise its generation plans for 2030
considering the revised slow rise in demand
