6. Conclusion
The overall performance of the power sector during FY2021 is mixed
.
•
•
•
Positive changes observed in case of generation, transmission and distribution
Modest rise in RE based power generation though it's share is still negligible
Overcapacity and frequent power outage and 'zero' load-shedding in official data
three contradictory issues have been continuing
BPDB borne a huge financial burden because of its over generation capacity -
per unit cost for some power plants was as high as Tk.1500 although average
cost is Tk. 7. Variation in per unit cost was higher in FY2020 compared to that in
FY2019
Modest level of activities observed in the SREDA
The budget allocation for the Power sector has increased - allocation for distribution
get the priority
.
·
•
However, higher allocation does not explain adding new projects rather majority
of the distribution related projects are 'carryover' projects which portrays
inefficiency in project implementation
Transmission related projects observed rise in 'carryover' projects
The allocation for distribution and transmission for different agencies shows
both reduction and increase in budget which portrays skewed nature of
allocation and subsequent adverse effect on electricity users of different areas
