Dhaka, March 19 -- As summer approaches, the sweltering heat of Chaitra looms over Bangladesh, pushing both public life and agricultural fields to their limits. With rising temperatures, the demand for electricity is also set to surge.

Energy Adviser Fouzul Kabir Khan on February 5 said that electricity demand is expected to reach 15,700 MW during Ramadan, and may rise further to 18,000 MW in the peak summer months when irrigation demand increases.

Despite Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) data indicating a total installed capacity of 27,790 MW, the country faces persistent fuel shortages, creating a major obstacle to stable electricity supply.
