Energy Security: Why do the World Bank and ADB want rural electrification to be commercialized?

There has long been internal conflict between the Palli Bidyut Samiti (PBS) and the Rural Electrification Board (REB). Accusations of corruption and instability between REB and the rural electrification cooperatives are now at their peak, and the government seems unable to resolve the matter. Rather than solving the problem, the government appears to be fueling it by implementing the agenda of ADB and the World Bank, according to Consumers Association of Bangladesh (CAB) at a press conference on June 4, where CAB demanded that the dispute between REB and PBS be resolved.
