| Summary: | Bangladesh suffers from significant
shortages of power generation capacity and natural gas.
Addressing these problems will require concerted action to
improve services, restructure energy sector finances, and
bolster governance. In parallel, fuels and power
policymaking coordination should be improved in order to
address medium and longer term issues (such as assessing the
place of coal-fired power in the generation mix, and
considering energy trade options). The World Bank Group is
ready to support Bangladesh to address comprehensively its
energy sector challenges, complementing the assistance from
other development partners. |
