part 1: overview of cogeneration and its status in asia - Fire

Summary of country study – Bangladesh 133
3.1.3 Share of electricity use in industrial and commercial sectors
Industrial and domestic sectors are the major consumers of electricity, accounting for 46 and
38 per cent respectively in 1996-97, whereas the commercial sector has had a steady share
of around 11 per cent over the last decade. With the industrialization, the share of industries
has gone up from 39 to 46 per cent while that of domestic sector has gone down from 44 to
38 per cent over a 10-year period.
3.1.4 Status of industrial development and growth in energy Use
The industrial development and growth of energy use is shown in Figure 3.1. Industrial
development is expressed as industrialization ratio, which refers to share of value added of
manufacturing and mining sectors to GDP at current prices (1992). Industrialization ratio of
the country increased from 1975 to 1983, declined from 1983 to 1987 and has an increasing
trend from the year 1989. Per capita energy consumption has increased continuously over
the years.

3.1.5 Prevailing costs of energy
The different energy tariffs are summarized in Table 3.1. The industrial and commercial
electricity tariffs given here do not include minimum charge, demand charge, service and
other taxes.
3.1.6 Government policies and strategies for private power generation
In comparison to the 11,666 GWh electricity generated annually at present, the Power
System Master Plan (PSMP) projects a requirement of 16,500 GWh in 2000 and 24,160
GWh in 2005. This implies an increase in the peak demand from 2,200 MW presently to
3,150 MW by 2000 and 4,600 MW by 2005 for which capacity addition of about 3,350 MW
will be required by 2005. Hence, an average of 300 MW of generation capacity has to be
added every year from 1998. At present load shedding has risen to the level of 300 MW
causing more than 20 per cent of working hours to be wasted in the industries. This indicates
the necessity of power generation in private sector.
