Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) announced that the country experienced no load-shedding for a full week from April 27 to May 3, 2026, as electricity generation matched demand nationwide. Analysis of data from Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) confirmed that during this period, daily peak-hour demand ranging between 10,462 and 12,793 megawatts was fully met. The improvement was attributed to sufficient rainfall reducing irrigation needs and stable power plant operations.
BPDB Chairman Md. Rezaul Karim stated that earlier production shortfalls caused by small plant issues had been resolved, allowing supply to meet demand. He emphasized ensuring coal supply as a key priority to sustain uninterrupted generation, noting that one unit of the RNPL coal-based power plant in Patuakhali had begun commercial production and another would join soon. Government measures to conserve electricity, such as limiting decorative lighting and regulating air conditioner use, also contributed to the improvement.
Officials added that continued imports from Adani Power in Jharkhand, India, and increased LNG, HFO, and coal imports helped maintain generation stability. Consumers in Dhaka reported no outages during the week, though brief local interruptions may still occur for maintenance or technical reasons.
