Notwithstanding an exponential growth in electricity generation, the repeated power tariff hikes across Bangladesh will only burden the consumers, eminent economist Dr Ahsan H Mansur has said.
“Electricity has to be provided at an affordable rate,” the executive director of Policy Research Institute (PRI), a think tank, said on Saturday at a webinar 50 years of Victory & Progress of Power Sector organised by the Forum for Energy Reporters Bangladesh (FERB) in association with Bangladesh Independent Power Producers Association (BIPPA).
Though there is adequate electricity generation, Mansur said that stable and quality power is not available . Bangladesh’s dependency on imported primary fuel will continue for a long as our own natural gas resource is not explored. Still there is a big challenge for mitigating primary fuel supply in ensuring energy security.
