Electricity load-shedding eased somewhat across Bangladesh on the Friday holiday as demand fell, though officials said the overall gas and power situation showed no major change. In Dhaka, outages lasted one to two hours depending on the area, while locations outside the capital faced six to eight hours of load-shedding. Household gas stoves and CNG filling stations also experienced somewhat better pressure.
Power Grid Bangladesh data showed electricity demand at 14,684 megawatts at 3pm on Friday, down 2,262 megawatts from 16,946 megawatts at the same time on Thursday. Supply was 13,201 megawatts, only 81 megawatts below the previous day, reducing the shortfall by 2,181 megawatts to 1,483 megawatts.
Petrobangla data put Friday’s gas demand at about 4,000 million cubic feet against supply of 2,350 million cubic feet, leaving a deficit of 1,450 to 1,650 million cubic feet. Gas and fuel shortages disrupted output at 62 power plants, while textile and garment factories in Savar, Gazipur and Narayanganj were operating at 30 percent capacity. CNG vehicle queues continued despite improved pressure.
