The whole country is burning in severe heat. Load shedding has become a curse for the people. The suffering has reached its peak due to the increase in load shedding in the last few days. It has started to have an adverse effect on various sectors including industrial production, agricultural production. So now the question arises, how long will this load shedding continue?
\nState Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Anindya Islam Amit has said that the level of load shedding will soon come down to a tolerable level. According to sources in the Power Department, there is a possibility of getting imported electricity again from Adani Power from tomorrow, April 26. In addition, 650 MW of electricity will be available from SS Power’s IPP plant in Banshkhali from April 28.
\nJoint Secretary of the Power Department, Umme Rehana, said, “We will get about 1,300 megawatts of electricity from April 28, which will ease the crisis a little.” Also, if the RNPN unit that was shut down due to the energy crisis is restarted, it will be possible to supply about 2,000 megawatts of electricity in the first week of May.
\nState Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Anindya Islam Amit believes that the power supply situation can be normalized within a week. He told BBC Bangla, “Due to a problem in one unit of the Adani power plant, they are now able to supply half the electricity compared to before, the same is the case with SS Power in Banshkhali. We have spoken to all of them and hope that the situation will improve within a week.”
\nHowever, many experts believe that if the war situation in the Middle East continues and Bangladesh’s energy crisis is not resolved, load shedding will have to be tolerated. Energy expert Ijaz Hossain said that it is possible to reduce load shedding by restarting about six to seven thousand megawatts of oil-based power plants at the moment.
\nBut in this case, he feels that it is difficult to tolerate the increase in the price of electricity per unit in the current economic reality of Bangladesh. He said, “Currently, about 40 thousand crore taka is being subsidized in this sector. This time it could be 60 thousand crore taka. Furnace oil-dependent power plants cannot produce as much as they want.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
