The present government has achieved tremendous success in the enhancement of power generation capacity to make the country self-reliant in electricity supply and help reach power to every house.
“Bangladesh will achieve its complete self-reliance in electricity generation very soon to bring every house under power supply facilities,” State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid told BSS.
He called upon all for sincerely using power to save the national resource of electricity. “Currently 92 percent people are getting electricity, which was only 47 percent in the beginning of 2009,” he added.
Nasrul said the government has installed 99 power plants as against 27 in 2009 and the power generation capacity reached to 20,430 MW and power connections to 3.15 crore.
