Highlights
- The country aims to reach a capacity of 4 GW of renewables by 2030, around half of which from solar.
- The updated NDC aims for a 7% reduction in GHG emissions in 2030.
- Private companies own half of the electricity capacity. Chevron is the main gas producer.
- The large gas resources are not well developed and are insufficient to meet the growing demand.
- T&D losses have been reduced by 5 points since 2010, allowing a reduction in power outages.
- Energy prices are controlled and subsidised by the Government.
- Energy consumption is increasing rapidly, driven by rapid economic growth.
- Natural gas supplies almost 60% of the consumption.
- The country targets a tripling of power capacity by 2040.
- In 2010, the Government cancelled 10 coal-fired power plants totalling around 9 GW.

Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MPEMR) is responsible for the energy sector. Its Power Division is responsible for power-related policies, while the Energy and Mineral Resources Division is responsible for gas, petroleum products and coal.
The Ministry of Finance approves the investments in the energy sector.
Energy Companies
Oil:
Petrobangla (Bangladesh Oil, Gas and Mineral Corp) is the national fuel company. It is involved in all oil, natural gas and coal exploration/production projects. Petrobangla operates via several subsidiaries, of which 3 for oil and gas E&P (1 for oil and 2 for gas), 1 for gas transmission, 6 for gas distribution, 1 for LNG, 1 for CNG & LPG, and 1 for coal mining.
Energy Supply
Gas:
Natural gas production has been declining slightly since 2016 and reached 25.7 bcm in 2020 (-1.2%/year). It increased rapidly until 2016 (6%/year over 2010-2016), reaching 27.7 bcm.
Energy Prices
Gas:
In 2019, the BERC raised gas prices for all types of consumers by 33%, to help Petrobangla reduce its massive losses. In June 2021, natural gas prices reached US$1.3c/kWh for households and US$1.1c/kWh for businesses.
Energy Consumption
Energy consumption per capita is 0.28 toe, including around 489 kWh of electricity (2020).
The country's overall energy consumption is increasing quickly (4.5%/year since 2010), driven by rapid economic growth (6.9%/year).
Gas is the main energy source (57%), ahead of biomass (17%), coal (13%), and oil (12%) (2020).

Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
PSMP 2016 targets a capacity of 24 GW (of which 10% is renewable capacity) in 2021, 40 GW in 2030, and 60 GW in 2040. The 10% renewable capacity target for 2021 is likely to be missed as it reached 3% in 2020.

In the Bangladesh energy market report you will find the following tables:
- Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO2 emissions.
- Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source.
- Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
- Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.
- Infrastructure Projects: Covers power plant projects by energy, technology, status and operator.
The Bangladesh energy market data since 1990 and up to 2020 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Bangladesh country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.
Key Data included in the excelsheet:
- Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
- Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
- Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
- Energy Balance: total and per energy.
- Bangladesh Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Bangladesh energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
The Bangladesh country report is complemented with a national power generation dashboard (excel file) from our Power Plant Tracker Service.
Data included in the excelsheet:
