Why suddenly so much loadshedding?


From the previous couple of days, there has been a surprising intense load dropping of energy across the us of a along with the capital. there's a median load losing of 3-4 hours within the capital and 7-eight hours outside Dhaka. increases energy generation capacity which became absent previous few years. prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has advised anyone to be frugal inside the present day scenario.

The high Minister stated, on the only hand, the impact of Corona, on pinnacle of that got here the Russia-Ukraine struggle. As a result, the charges of strength era materials in the global marketplace have increased excessively. Diesel, oil, LNG costs have expanded. the whole thing has long past up in charge. Coal isn't always available now. many countries are actually crying for electricity. electricity and energy human beings name it 'force load dropping'. this is, the important manufacturing is not being accomplished on the middle for appropriate reasons. So there may be load losing. growing production would now not require load shedding. Load losing is being accomplished knowingly no longer simplest in Dhaka, but all around the usa. instructions were given not to load shedding for extra than 1/2 an hour at a time in one region. Rationing has been asked to deliver strength.

The purpose is stated to be that because of the Russia-Ukraine battle, the charge of fuel is increasing in the global marketplace. Bangladesh is self-sufficient in strength era. but as the main uncooked material for power production isn't self-sufficient in gas, the desired fuel must be imported from abroad. fuel, which become offered at $4 in step with unit in 2020, has now risen to over $38. remaining bought from the spot marketplace for $25. A huge amount of cash has been spent. it's miles not possible to subsidize if bought at current expenses. for that reason, the authorities has determined now not to import fuel in the meanwhile, so the deliver of gas has reduced.

Maximum of the united states of america's strength plants are fuel structured. As a result, power era is disrupted due to lack of gasoline supply. those involved additionally suppose that this crisis will no longer be resolved till the price of gasoline inside the world market is reduced and the deliver of gas from domestic resources is elevated.

According to BPDB, on Tuesday, power demand throughout the united states of america became 14,000 MW and manufacturing potential become 13,seven-hundred MW. The demand within the capital Dhaka was four thousand 800 MW. there's more than one thousand MW electricity scarcity throughout the country and more than 250 MW in Dhaka. it has been requested to load losing via rationing to satisfy this deficit.

Strength expert Mr. Tamim stated that diverse plans need to have been taken earlier to boom domestic gasoline production, in any other case we might not have suffered from it now. but, due to the growth within the rate of LNG in the global marketplace, now Petrobangla is taking numerous steps. He said that the problem is due to the authorities's decision no longer to buy LNG due to the growth in spot marketplace expenses. Now load dropping is being accomplished to reduce fuel consumption. To cope with this disaster, we need to lessen the consumption of unnecessary gas and energy. optimistically, this crisis will now not remaining lengthy, due to the fact the expenses of LNG and fuel oil will come down.

While asked to realize the contemporary situation of strength, energy cellular Director general Mohammad Hossain instructed Akira Alo that because of the call for for strength after Corona and the conflict, the fee of energy is increasing in the global marketplace. it is now not simply us, it's a global hassle. The trouble that the complete international is handling for the closing 2-3 months, we're handling for 2-three days. developed nations like Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan or even Japan-Australia have now determined to plan load losing for 2 hours a day.

He stated, half of our fuel requirement for power generation is our personal fuel. The relaxation must be imported. in the modern situation, the manufacturing fee will increase 3-four instances to import LNG and gasoline oil to meet the electricity call for. in which a subsidy of 9000 crore rupees turned into given, if it keeps in this case, approximately 40 thousand crore rupees will should accept as subsidy, that is not possible for the government.

Director standard of electricity cell stated, "we are slowly becoming dependent on imported gas, our strength call for is 15,000 megawatts, and we've got the capacity to meet this call for." the main problem is gasoline deliver. If 6 thousand megawatts can be constituted of fuel-based electricity plant life, there would be no disaster. however within the last  days, the rate of LNG has expanded abnormally inside the spot market. At present it isn't always affordable to buy LNG on the spot marketplace rate to generate energy. not presently shopping for. As a end result, four to four.5 thousand megawatts are being made out of gas-based vegetation. there's a deficit of 150 to 2000 megawatts. That has created an insufferable state of affairs for all of us for the closing 2-three days.

The way out of this, he stated, is to be self-enough. For this, steps have been taken to shut shops, shopping department shops by eight pm. it is presently suspended for Eid. Then a few other steps could be taken together with its execution. If absolutely everyone shares the shortage the next day (Thursday), it'll not be at an insufferable level. because we've got experience of 8-10 hours day by day loadshedding in the past. Now if we can cope with load shedding for a couple of hours then it will likely be a big step in the hobby of the usa and ourselves. He said that there is a shortfall of 250 to three hundred mmcft of fuel at gift.

Bangladesh Oil-fuel-Mineral resources corporation Petrobangla sources say that the us of a's daily call for for gas is ready 370 million cubic ft. In contrast, an average of three billion cubic ft will be furnished. Out of this, 220-230 million cubic toes are made from the united states of america's fuel fields. The remaining 70-eighty crore cubic feet are imported. 275-280 crore cubic feet in step with day is being provided for 3 days. in this, energy manufacturing has decreased via about 2 thousand megawatts.

Petrobangla says, 966 million cubic toes of fuel has been supplied for strength era within the united states of america. however on June 29 it became 181 million cubic feet. In those two days, a hundred and fifteen million cubic ft of gasoline deliver has been decreased for electricity era. due to this gas-rationing, the manufacturing of power has reduced.

Chairman of Petrobangla Nazmul Ahsan said, in the present day state of affairs, the whole international is becoming budget friendly. If the rate of LNG falls, it'll be imported from spot. Now efforts are being made to boom manufacturing from domestic sources. As an opportunity to gasoline, gasoline oil can be used to generate power. however, the rate of gas inside the international marketplace is also high. Bangladesh Petroleum corporation (BPC) is losing more than 100 crore rupees an afternoon by means of uploading oil. consequently, the oil-fired power plant is likewise not able to run at complete speed. pressured load dropping.

The 2 distribution groups of Dhaka, DPDC and DESCO, said that during general they're facing a energy scarcity of three hundred MW. to fulfill the shortage, load shedding is being accomplished via half-hour in each vicinity. Load dropping is being accomplished by way of sharing it in exclusive regions to lessen customer suffering. The worst scenario is in one-of-a-kind areas outside Dhaka. there may be a mean of 7-eight hours of load dropping in keeping with day.

The agricultural Electrification Board (REB), which elements fifty five percentage of the country's energy, stated they supply approximately eight,000 megawatts of strength. closing Sunday, REB needed to do 851 MW load dropping. clients aren't getting energy for 5-6 hours an afternoon.
