Current State of Electricity Current State of Electricity RegulationRegulation
GOB/Power Division Functions as Regulator under Electricity Act 1910 Approves investment program Monitor performance of the public sector
entities/utilities Approves Tariff Appoint key personnel of the utilities Appoint Electrical Advisor and Chief Electrical
Inspector

Current State of Electricity Regulation Current State of Electricity Regulation (Contd.)(Contd.)
Chief Electrical Inspector perform duties as regulator on behalf of the govt. in the following areas : Provides supply license Provides approval for captive generation Setup security & safety standards and approves
electrical installations’ in respect of safety measures Performs testing &inspection function of electrical
installations in respect of security & safety Presently no provision of stake holders participation like
public hearing in the tariff approval process by the Govt. No scope of appeal to the court against Govt. decision

Scarcity of resources hinders development of the sector High system losses and accounts receivable affecting
the financial viability of the utilities Lack of clear goals, adequate financial and commercial
autonomy and adequate incentive hinders development Lack of differentiation of responsibilities for generation,
transmission and distribution is hindering segment specific corrective measures
Lack of cost and asset accounting system by units and absence of effective performance evaluation
Existing Tariff lower than cost reflective tariff

Reform Measures in Recent YearsReform Measures in Recent Years
GOB has undertaken a series of reform measures:GOB has undertaken a series of reform measures: The National Energy Policy was prepared and adopted in
1996 Power Cell was created in 1995 to design, facilitate and
drive reform measures Private Sector Power Generation Policy was developed
and adopted in 1996, to introduce competition, induct foreign private capital and increase power supply
Policy has been adopted in 1998 to promote small-scale generation in the private sector
REB/PBS started buying electricity from private sectors

Reform Measures in Recent Years Reform Measures in Recent Years (Cont.)(Cont.)
Ashuganj power station corporatization process started Govt. approved Haripur (99 MW) & Baghabari 100 MW Power Station to
convert into Strategic Business Unit (SBU) Draft legislation for setting up of a Regulatory Commission approved by
the Cabinet Government adopted a well specified power tariff formula to protect the
tariff in terms of real value Power Cell completed tariff study and its under consideration of the govt Under the Company Act 1994:
Power Grid Company of Bangladesh set up DESCO set up as distribution company Mixed sector generation company RPC set up
SBU activities adopted in 47 nos. distribution divisions of BPDB and DESA As a part of reforms and restructuring West Zone Power Distribution
Company under BPDB

Long term goals for the power sectorLong term goals for the power sector
To make electricity available for all by 2020
To ensure reliable and quality supply of electricity
To provide electricity at a reasonable price
Government’s VisionGovernment’s Vision
12
Reforms ObjectivesReforms ObjectivesTo bring entire country under electricity service by the year 2020To bring entire country under electricity service by the year 2020 Making the power sector financially viable and able to facilitate
economic growth Increasing the sector’s efficiency Making the sector commercial Improving the reliability and quality of electricity supply Using natural gas as the primary fuel for electricity generation
and exploring the possibility for export of power to augment and diversify foreign exchange earnings
increasing private sector participation to mobilise finance ensuring reasonable and affordable price for electricity by
pursuing least cost options promoting competition among various entities
13
Reform StrategyReform Strategy
Segregation of generation, transmission and distribution into separate services
Corporatization and commercialization of emerging power sector entities
Creation of Regulatory Commission Private Sector Participation Introduction of cost reflective tariff structure Development of demand management including energy
efficiency measures to conserve energy Development of alternative/ renewable energy sources
14
Reform Strategy (Contd.)Reform Strategy (Contd.)
Generation Generation : Separating out all existing power generation units through a
corporatized entity Under construction and future power stations may be
incorporated as independent company Generation projects be selected at least cost option Generation capacity would be sought through a mix of
public & private source
Transmission :Transmission : Transmission network will be owned, operated, planned and
developed by a corporatized entity in the public sector
15
Distribution :Distribution :Highest in the agenda is to improve the commercial and financial performance of different entities. Specific measures to be considered are :
Introduction of consumer voice and organizational accountability in the form of citizen/ client charter
The existing distribution system of BPDB and DESA be transformed into a number of new corporatized entities
Private capital and management participation in distribution companies
The rural electric co-operatives (PBSs) under REB to continue functioning and additional PBSs to be formed as and when

Single buyer model be adopted as market structure The Single Buyer shall be a public sector entity Planning of least cost generation expansion Arrange establishment of private power generating
stations as per generation expansion plan Purchasing electricity from generators (both public and
private) and selling to distributors under Power Purchase and power Sales Agreements
Power system operation including economic dispatch of generation

Tariff
Commission will approve the Tariff on the basis of the
policy directives issued by the govt.
Public hearing will be made during tariff setting
Appeal against the decision of the Commission Aggrieved person may appeal against the decision of the
Commission to the High Court Division of the Supreme Court

The tariff setting be consistent with the financial requirements of the power sector institution Meets operating expenses Earns adequate return for self investment in future expansion
The tariffs take into account- Load Management and energy conservation Efficiency improvement
The GOB’s policy objectives be addressed in tariff setting and recommendations especially on social commitments. Tariff to each Consumer class reflects the cost of supply PBSs be subsidised by direct transfer from the GOB with the
aim of promoting rural development
Proposed Electricity Pricing PolicyProposed Electricity Pricing Policy
24
Gradual withdraw of subsidy for agriculture consumers Gradual withdraw of subsidy for domestic consumers except
those fall in the life line slab (0-100 units presently) In the interim subsidies to domestic and Agriculture
Consumers be supported through the national budget Automatic price adjustment due to change of the
following using a well specified formula : Exchange Rate Consumer/industrial price index Fuel price
Proposed Electricity Pricing Policy Proposed Electricity Pricing Policy (Contd.)(Contd.)
25
Impact : Make public sector utilities financially viable Increase ability of the public sector utilities to self-finance Reduced requirement of GOB assistance/subsidies for
development of the sector Brings competition and increase private participation both
foreign and local
Note : Tariff increase/rationalization be made along with the recommended power sector reform/ restructuring, otherwise it can’t bring desired financial viability of the sector.
