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. As the Annual Report is the mirror of an organisation, we are to portray the real picture of our performances in it and we are happy to express that BPDB enjoyed another marvelous year of success in the fiscal 2019, punctuated by our consecutive year of increased power generation. Though this achievement is worthy of celebration, we believe the best years are ahead for our organisation. During the year under report, 3,493 MW new capacity was added to the national grid which raised the total generation capacity to 18,961 MW and annual increment of generation capacity was 18.86%. Out of this new capacity addition, BPDB's contribution was 2,563 MW (including IPPs and power import). The highest peak generation in the said year was 12,893 MW and the total energy generation was 70,533 GWh which was 17.66% and 12.53% higher than the previous year respectively. Distribution system loss of BPDB's four zones during the said year also came down to 7.26% from 8.00% of previous year which is the sign of continuous improvement in distribution sector. During the period under report substantial progress was made in BPDB's four distribution zones as BPDB has been executing separate development projects in four zones for ensuring a healthy distribution system and customer satisfaction. Now we are on the right track to achieve the goal of providing uninterrupted, quality and reliable power to all citizen of the country by 2021.
