3. The Power Sector in the National Budget for FY2022
3.2 Overall allocation for the power sector
The power division needs to take cash loan from the government in order to meet
the costs. In FY22 the subsidy provided for energy and power sector will remain
same at Tk 9,000 crore like FY21
•
BPDB is the single largest borrower of cash loan from the government.
A large part of the borrowed fund will be used to meet the capacity payment
The subsidy will likely mean that BPDB will not need to seek permission from BERC
to raise the power tariff which is not desirable during the crisis period
