Annual Report 2016 - 2017 Annual Report 2016 - 2017 Bangladesh Power Development Board Annual Report 2016 - 2017 Bangladesh Power Development Board Bangladesh Power Development Board Vision To deliver uninterrupted quality power to all Mission To secure continuous growth of electricity 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. From the desk of Cha irman This is a matter of joy that Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB), the mother organisation of power sector of the country is going to bring out the Annual Report for the financial year 2016-2017. Bangladesh Power Development Board has been playing a pivotal role in the socio economic development of the country since independence, but it got a momentum after 2009 when new ideas and initiatives introduced in power sector to cope with the sharp rise in development activities of the country. At present, 83% of the total population has come under the electricity coverage and per capita generation has increased to 433 kWh. The government has already set a target to become a middle income country by 2021 and develop country by 2041. Power sector especially BPDB has to play a significant role in achieving government's all goals because targeted socio economic development will not be possible without uninterrupted and reliable power supply. BPDB has been functioning as a single buyer in the power market of Bangladesh. BPDB is engaged in purchasing electricity from IPPs, SIPPs, Rental Plants, APSCL, EGCB & NWZPGCL and selling energy to distribution companies. BPDB is now also working for exploring and researching alternative fuel for power generation. It is to be mentioned that in the fiscal year 2016-17 power sector witnessed a mentionable progress in power generation. 1586 MW new capacity has been added raising the total generation capacity to 13,555 MW. This new capacity addition includes installation of 588 MW by BPDB through IPPs, 278 MW by NWPGCL and 720 MW by APSCL. During the said year the highest power generation was 9479 MW which was 4.90% higher and total energy generation was 57,276 GWh which was 9.74% higher than previous year. In the said year load shedding also came down at a tolerable level despite increasing demand of power. This is a clear indication of gradual improvement. In FY 2016-17 bulk electricity sales to the distribution utilities were 10.31% higher than the previous year. Total revenue collection also increased to 2,74,355 MTk from 2,22,382 MTk which was 23.37% higher than the previous year. In the said year distribution system loss of BPDB's four zones came down to 9.27% from11.01% of previous year. We have been working hard over the years to improve the overall performance of BPDB and deliver quality and uninterrupted power to valued consumers and it will continue more vigorously in future. I hope this annual report would provide a true picture of BPDB as well as power sector.

During this fiscal year 1586 MW new capacity added from the newly installed power plants which raised the total generation capacity to 13,555 MW and annual increment of generation capacity was 9.62%. Out of this new capacity addition, BPDB installed 588 MW (including contracted capacity of IPPs) and the remaining 278 MW was installed by NWPGCL, 720 MW was installed by APSCL. The highest peak generation was 9,479 MW and the total energy generated 57,276 GWh which was 4.90% and 9.74% higher than the previous year respectively. Despite increasing electricity demand, average load shedding came down at a tolerable limit. Due to gas shortage and inadequate new generation addition in the few years back, demand of electricity outpaced generation capacity caused persistent load shedding.

(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4596 & Print ISSN: 0975-5861 Feasible Micro Hydro Potentiality Exploration in Hill Tracts of Bangladesh By Khizir Mahmud, Md. Abu Taher Tanbir & Md. Ashraful Islam Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology (CUET), Bangladesh Abstract - The energy demand is expected to grow rapidly in most developing countries over the next decades. For Bangladesh, economic growth has been accelerating and it is expected that the population will grow from an estimated 162.20 million people in 2011 to 200 million by 2050, with almost half of the population living in urban areas. For meeting the expected energy demand as the population will rise and to sustain economic growth, alternative form of energy – renewable energy needs to be expanded. This paper tries to explore the possibility of finding the renewable energy mainly from micro hydro in different places of Chittagong hill tract region by thoroughly describing present condition of energy along with data collection, calculation and feasibility of power generation from July 2011 to Jan 2012.

Erosion The Meghna river banks suffer from erosion problems annually, mostly in the monsoon and post monsoon periods. As the transmission line will not have any impact on erosion, a further detailed analysis of erosion was not required for the project. Flooding Flooding situation of the study area is very nominal. The local people informed that, only the historical flash flood occurred in the year of 1988, 1998 and 2004. Flooding of 1988 and 1998 severely affected almost the entire study area. The duration of 1988 and 1998 flood was around 1-1.5 months with flood level of 6-7 ft.

    Sustainable & Renewable Energy Development Authority Power Division Ministry of Power, Energy, & Mineral Resources Government of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh Scaling Up Renewable Energy in Low Income Countries (SREP) Investment Plan for Bangladesh October 2015 Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh Sustainable and Renewable Development Authority (SREDA) Power Division Ministry of Power, Energy & Mineral Resources www.sreda.gov Ref No: 27.02.0000.000.24.002.14-501 Date: 11/10/2015 Subject: Submission of SREP IP for Bangladesh I am pleased to submit the Investment Plan (IP) of Bangladesh’s Scaling-Up Renewable Energy Program (SREP) to the SREP Sub-Committee for endorsement. The SREP Investment Plan for Bangladesh has developed in collaboration and consultation with representatives from Government, particularly with the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA), private industries, academia and with the expertise and support of our development partners, the World Bank Group and Asian Development Bank. The Government of Bangladesh is committed to the development of a stable and sustainable power supply that will increase electricity access, enhance energy security, reduce poverty and mitigate climate change. The Government recognizes the important role that renewable energy can play in achieving these goals. The Government has set a goal of total electrification by 2020, and has called for the development of domestic renewable energy resources to ensure that the share of domestic energy supply would remain over 50 percent. Renewable energy resources will ensure a stable and universal power supply that will reduce poverty by sustainable socio-economic growth. Though Bangladesh has a negligible carbon footprint, but remains one of the most vulnerable nations in the world for the effect of climate change, and we recognize the important role that renewable energy can play in reducing associated risks.

One might expect the country’s vulnerability to climate change impacts would mean power generation capacity is planned with low-carbon renewable energy - it is not. Bangladesh plans a massive increase of coal-fired power, the most greenhouse gas intensive form of fossil fuel electricity generation. This analysis explores these plans, the proponents behind the projects, necessary associated infrastructure and the potential impacts on community and climate. • Bangladesh has at least 29 coal-fired power projects with a total capacity of 33,200 MW under construction and pre-construction. If all the proposed projects are built, the country’s coal power capacity would increase by 63 times.
