"1. Government of Bangladesh is strongly committed to provide reliable and quality electricity to all people of Bangladesh. Demand of electricity has been increasing day by day. In the recent years,peak demand was more than 11,000 MW and the generation capacity is more than 13,000 MW.Out of total 13,621 MW,7,476MW in public sector and 5,485 MW in private sector and 660 MW isbeing imported from India. During FY 2016-17 53.60% net energy is generated by private sector. At present there are 111 power plants out of which 45 plants in public sector and 66 plants in private sector.Due to change in policy, regulatory and legislation framework, participation of private sector investment is increasing day by day.
2. Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB), a state owned company, owns 10,436 circuit kilometers transmission line. It has grid substation capacityof 31,000 MVA. National Load Despatch Centre (NLDC) under PGCB is entrusted with the responsibilities to oversee voltage and frequency. Generation scheduling, plant despatch, plant outage etc. areoperated by BPDB (Single Buyer) through NLDC.There are six state owned distribution entities including BPDB having total 401,000 kilometer distribution lines.The role of NLDC(PGCB’s unit) is to play an independent role for plants operation and merit order despatch between public and private sector. Sometimes conflict arises during load sharing at grid level by the distribution entities. Under this context,government intends to establish an Independent System Operator (ISO) through separating NLDC from PGCB.Accordingly, to establish ISO,a provision has been incorporated in the proposed Electricity Act, 2017 which is under enactment by the Parliament.
