Introduction Energy is an absolutely contemporary but somehow perennial topic (Solow, 1974). The continued wave of interests on economics of natural resources, particularly energy, emanates mainly from the exhaustible nature of important commercial energy resources resulting in antagonistic relationship between today’s and tomorrow’s production. Even before the publication of Harold Hotellings’ seminal article “The Economics of Exhaustible Resources,” in 1931, Adam Smith, Ricardo, Henry Carey, J.S. Mill, W.R.Sorely, Marshall, Lewis Gray and Gustav Cassel made significant contributions to this literature. The recent spike in oil prices is a stark reminder of the famous Hotelling rule which states that the price of an exhaustible resource must grow at a rate equal to the rate of interest, both along an efficient extraction path and in a competitive resource industry equilibrium (Hotelling, 1931). However, the demand destruction subsequent to the spike in oil prices reminded us of the simplest lesson from microeconomics that even the monopolist can choose a price or a quantity, but not both.

    Annual Report 2018-19 Bangladesh Power Development Board Bangladesh Power Development Board Vision To deliver uninterrupted quality power to all. To secure continuous growth of electricity Mission for sustainable development and ensure customer satisfaction. Objectives To be engaged in implementing the development program of the government in the power sector; To adopt modern technology and ensure optimum utilization of the primary and alternative source of fuel for sustainable development of power generation projects; To purchase power as a Single Buyer from power producers; To provide reliable power supply to customers enabling socio economic development; To promote a work culture, team spirit and inventiveness to overcome challenges; To promote ideas, talent and value systems for employees. Annual Report 2018-19 From the desk of Chairman It is a matter of immense pleasure that Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB), the largest electricity utility of the country is going to publish its Annual Report for the financial year 2018-2019. Power sector of Bangladesh is a proud sector of the country with installed power generation capacity of 22,562 MW as of October 2019 (including captive and renewable energy). Power sector of Bangladesh is one of the booming sectors of the country. Now 95% of the total population has access to electricity. The largest energy consumers in Bangladesh are residential sector, followed by industries, commercial and agricultural sectors. Only few years back high system loss, low plant efficiency, erratic power supply, shortages of funds for power plant maintenance and absence of new power generation plan were the big problems in Bangladesh's power sector, but now the scenario is completely different.

Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (ICB) was brought into existence as a government owned corporation to play role for economic development of Bangladesh with the mandates to encourage and broaden the base of investment, develop the capital market, mobilize savings and matters ancillary thereto. In order to encourage first-generation private enterprise and investment in the early eighties, ICB was first to provide investment-driven institutional support through bridge financing, debenture financing, share take-up, advance against equity, pre-IPO placement, purchases of bonds and preference shares and other means to meet their equity gap. In the process, the companies repaid the bridge loan through IPO and bonds through installments over 5/10 years’ term. Thus, ICB contributed to increase the supply of primary securities in the capital market since inception.

    Power System Master Plan 2010 Chapter 9 Power System Analysis In this chapter, the study of a long-term transmission network expansion plan is carried out based on the power demand forecast and the optimum power development plan by 2030 in Bangladesh, taking into account potential interconnection with neighboring countries. The required system analysis is carried out by utilizing the system analysis software PSS/E. 9.1 Basic concept for the optimum transmission network development plan 9.1.1 Conditions for implementation of the optimum transmission network development plan planning criteria The BPDB developed the Bangladesh Power System Master Plan in 1995, and updated it in 2006 to the year 2025 under support of Asian Development Bank (ADB). The PSMP Study Team will review the 2006 Power System Master Plan and implement the optimum transmission network development plan according to the Study for power demand forecasts and the power supply development plan. Moreover, the adequacy of the power supply capability of the present transmission system in light of future power demand increases will be studied. Therefore, it is necessary to establish an optimal transmission network development plan including the provision of a power system interconnected with neighboring countries from the viewpoint of securing long-term stability in power supply capability. As for the implementation of the transmission network plan, the horizon year 2030 plan and the near future year 2015 plan will be implemented first, followed by the year 2020 and 2025, taking
