State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid today said they had been trying to ensure smooth supply of coal, gas and fuel to the power plants for the last two months but it did not work due to the "financial issues".
Considering the electricity overcapacity in Bangladesh created over the last decade, Bangladesh, with its decisions to build coal power plants and an expensive nuclear power plant, seems to have already started to feel the symptoms of technology lock-in.
If needed electricity supply to other sectors will be halted during the daytime to increase supply of electricity to industries and agriculture, said PM's Energy Affairs Adviser Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury today.
Saving electricity at home helps reduce your household's need for energy, and in turn, helps reduce the demand for fossil fuels. Whether you are a homeowner, a private or social renter, a student, or you live with your parents, there are many things you can do. The best way to start saving on your electricity costs is to get smart with how you use electricity.
