The Youth Parliament of the Consumers Association of Bangladesh (CAB) has announced a 13-point demand calling for the cancellation of the power purchase agreement with Indian company Adani and the halt of Adani’s electricity imports. The demands were presented at a press conference held on Tuesday at the Dhaka Reporters Unity, where student representatives from Dhaka University and BRAC University participated. CAB’s energy adviser M Shamsul Alam was also present at the event.
The demands include abolishing the Special Provision Act for quick power and energy supply, canceling all contracts and licenses under that law, stopping furnace oil-based power generation, and restoring the power and primary energy sectors as public service sectors. CAB also called for cost-based, non-profit energy supply, reducing fossil fuel imports by at least 5 percent in the next government term, and increasing solar power generation by 15 percent over five years. Other points include halting LNG import expansion for five years and banning new coal-based power capacity.
CAB urged political parties and candidates in the upcoming national election to include these 13 demands in their manifestos, aligning with the organization’s proposed Energy Transition Policy 2024 for a fair energy transformation.
