The BPDB is the highest recipient of cash loan from the government over the last nine
years

.
A major reason for not being no-loss/profitable state by BPDB is because of its
over-emphasis on power generation by the private sector which caused almost
half of the electricity unused (beyond reserve margin)
Shifting this financial burden to the consumers by raising power tariff will be
unjustified
BPDB should exclusively focus on reduction of over-generation capacity, stop
giving approval of new power plants, phasing out of coal and LNG, exiting from
QRR and rental PPs
Enhanced budget allocation for SREDA
The MOPEMR particularly BPDB should announce the following:
a) No new power plant to be in operation before 2025
b) No further extension of any QRR and rental power plants
c) The timeline for exiting of quick rental power plants
d) No allocation for coal-fired power plants (except those three which are ongoing
and their related transmission and distribution)
e) Reduction of maximum per unit cost of electricity from each plant with a
minimum level of variation
f) Gradual rise in proportionate share of budget allocation in transmission and
distribution related projects over generation related projects
g) Share of 'carryover projects' in transmission and distribution should be declinedView entire presentation
