Opportunities waiting for Bangladesh in Power Sector


There are many Opportunities are waiting for Bangladesh in Power Sector. The future of this sector is very good for Bangladesh. It is easy to say for many reasons. Bangladesh is going to establish joint venture power plants with India especially with its north eastern states. Indian govt. invites Bangladesh to invest in power sector in joint venture basis which will increase both countries power generation. Bangladesh government a moment ago got an invitation from the state government of Tripura to invest in a joint venture power plant from which Bangladesh will get 100 MW power in its national grid. 

 Bangladesh has great chance in using renewable power sources. Bangladesh has 15 MW solar energy capacities through rural households and 1.9 MW wind power in Kutubdia and Feni. Bangladesh has intended to produce 5% of total power generation by 2015 & 10% by 2020 from renewable energy sources like air, waste & solar energy. Using more renewable power sources will increase the total power production.

 Bangladesh recently signed a contract to set up a 1,000 MW power plant at Rooppur. After completion of this project there will be a totaling of 1,000 MW supply to the national grid. This project will also catch the attention of other foreign investors to invest in nuclear power plants in Bangladesh which ultimately increase the power production of the country.
