The Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC) is expecting a loss of more than Tk500 crore due to higher fuel oil import costs and lower sales prices caused by the massive increase in the dollar exchange rate, according to sources from the state-run agency.

Octane, diesel, petrol, and kerosene will cost you more from Saturday as the government has once again revised fuel prices.

In an effort to prevent extensive damage during Cyclone Remal, electricity supply in several coastal areas of the country was suspended by the Bangladesh Rural Electrification Board (REB).

Bangladesh also suspended loading and unloading in the country’s largest main seaport in Chittagong and moved more than a dozen ships from jetties to the deep sea as a precaution.

The Bangladesh Rural Electrification Board (BREB) plans to install 500,000 smart prepayment meters by 2025 as part of a pilot project aimed at modernising the country's energy infrastructure.

The supply of gas to the national grid from well number 14 in Brahmanbaria Titas Gas Field has been resumed after a closure for nearly two and a half years due to water related issues.

At least 333 megawatts (MW) of electricity generation is possible with solar power plants using only 30% of the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) area, energy sector experts said at a roundtable today (25 May).

The Forum for Energy Reporters Bangladesh (FERB) has been honoured with an award by the National Renewable Energy Conference and Green Expo 2024 authorities for its significant contributions to the power and energy sector of Bangladesh.

Bangladesh is lagging behind its renewable energy targets, with the current capacity standing at just four percent relative to the target of 10 percent by 2020, making it unlikely to reach the target of 100 percent by 2050. Yet, the success of the latest Conference of the Parties (COP28) agreement to substantially increase renewables in the next decade relies heavily on Asia, where many countries like Bangladesh are struggling to keep up.

Bangladesh needs to revise its solar power plant policy to address the land crisis effectively, Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud said today

Given the crisis inflicted by the Russia-Ukraine war, energy-hungry countries like Bangladesh need a transition to renewable and clean energy sources, says US Ambassador to Dhaka Peter Haas.

Unlike some renewable energy sources like solar and wind, nuclear power plant can generate electricity consistently regardless of weather conditions or time of day

The wind plant can produce 24 times more than solar projects in terms of land use

He said that artificial intelligence will make daily work easier
Technology will work behind the scenes to build a knowledge-based society

angladesh could save $460 million a year by increasing efficiency of its gas-fired captive power generation plants, revealed a report released on Monday by the US-based Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis.
