Bangladesh loses around $3.3 billion a year due to unreliable power supply to homes, offices, and factories.

Power outages during the three-day weekend were so frequent that they prompted the state minister for power to speak about the extent of the problem yesterday.

Power supply to all areas of Dhaka city will be restored by 8pm today (October 4, 2022).

The government’s assurance of relief from power cuts within September is likely to fall flat as people in the capital and elsewhere continue to suffer frequent loadshedding in sweltering heat.

There will be one hour long load shedding countrywide from tomorrow to reduce energy subsidy, State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid said today (July 18, 2022).
