Year in Review 2022: Power and Energy
This year, Bangladesh faced an unprecedented hike in fuel prices, which had both immediate and medium-term impacts on various sectors of the economy. CPD closely monitored the price hike likely to stoke the difficult inflationary situation and the implications on poor and middle-income people. Also, CPD emphasised economic and environmental cost estimation of LNG import and realistic alternatives for enhancing efficiency in gas use in power plants, reducing captive power generation, and promoting clean-energy-based power generation. Additionally, CPD emphasised that the national budget should put greater emphasis more on power distribution and transmission than generation.
