Power generation


The Finance Adviser, Mirza Azizul Islam, said in his speech that the government had set a target to generate sufficient electricity by the year 2010. The demand for electricity increased but generation didn't increase correspondingly. So, the government has taken up short and long-term plans. The Adviser said that they have planned to increase power generation over the next three years by 345MW in the first year, 900MW in the second year and 1,050MW in the third year. In the past, the maintenance of those power plants was neglected. The government has taken initiatives for the maintenance of those plants.

So, I think the caretaker government is really doing a great job for ending load-shedding.
