Cabinet body okays import of 500 MW more power from India.

[bête noire]

As for BD, I ask all those misguided Chetona group in the PDF, if BD PM is correct in saying that 90% of BD has been connected to the power grid, i ask them why then it is necessary to import extra from India as well as China? The reality is BD needs to install at least 100,000 mW before it can claim sufficiency. So, the govt should install at least 40,000 mW before it can claim near credibility.

Electricity connection and electricity supply is different. Connection means household or percentage of population connected to power. What you are referring to is supply. For example, in Pakistan 97.5% (and that was in 2014) of household is connected to power but since the supply of energy is insufficient, power outage is regular and unbearable.

You are right about the fact that Bangladesh needs supply of 100 GW, although it would be too much at this stage since our average household do not consume half as much as west like using a lot of home appliances in every household or heaters in winter (since we don't have terrible winters). However installed capacity is needed for uninterrupted supply and economic growth. So we need to build with the target of 80 to 100 GW by 2041 not just 40GW of govt target.

Bangladesh in rabid economic expansion and with it the need for electricity is rising fast and so is the power to build energy projects. BD would certainly be able to afford to install total 80 GW by 2041 if it can keep 7% economic growth. Government target is too little and seems like target based on 1990s economic performance and not todays performance of rapid expansion.

UK have pop in 66 Million and 80,000 MW electricity.... fine for the UK... by the time Asian countries they get 200GW the west would have increased it's own power generation. BD pop in 2060 will be well over 200M.

UK electricity consumption is in decline. Things are getting more and more power efficient. I doubt when consumption goes up by 2060, it'll go up in any significant amount.

What cabnet man they are slaves of india its just formality to ok or not

Meh, dont mock BD's geographical bad fate. If BD shared geographical boundary with many countries, it would import power from various sources. Isnt Pakistan importing power from Iran and planning to import from other Central Asian countries. If BD shared land boundary with Nepal or Bhutan. BD would pay them to make hydro power infrastructure and import from them cheap like India. Neither BD has much elevated river sources to generate electricity. So its logical to import from them or through them when needed. Pakistan also planned to import electricity from India, then what. I know from where you are coming, make cheap shots when see some development in BD and laugh at BD's misery other time. Lol

Like you, every one knows the difference. You certainly do not have to point out this petty thing. Point is when BD needs at least an installed capacity of 100, 000 mW of power, your PM is celebrating the 10,000 mW as if giving connection guarantee also the supply of electricity. I am not here to celebrate your false celebration.

I simply answered a question you asked, not sure why you are getting triggered over this. Also, BD doesn't need 100 GW of power right now. We don't have that much demand. People can only afford the bare necessities, not home appliances where they need that much power and the cost of using the power would also be high for them to afford anyway.

What is this vendetta you have? Did you expect SH to build from 4 GW to 100 GW in the last 10 years? I am seriously curious as why you think BD could just afford to build 100 GW capacity energy in the last 10 years. 16 GW installed and 10 GW generation was an achievement so they are celebrating. No one is saying BD only needs this much. Building 100 GW power costs money. Yes, they probably could've done much better but 100 or 50 is too much to ask in a short period of time with a small economy. BD needs a lot of things and power is only one of them. And every infra and energy costs money. You can't put all your money in building power plants.

What vendetta you are talking about? I am just a lowly street man to say vendetta against an undemocratic PM of BD. The country must keep on building many more power stations and keep all these in workable condition after which at a certain point of production the country can claim self-sufficiency in power generation. When it has an installed capacity of 16,000 MW, the actual production is only 10,000 MW.

It only means the govt is unable to maintain what has been built. Production efficiency is only about 62.5%, and the stupid PM is blabbering with success, all in the name of 90% Khamba connection. Please do not talk from a Chetona style of thinking.

100,000 MW would still not give them power supply enjoyed by the west... This moment of time 200k MW would be western like. As for Pak 250k MW.
