Bangladesh’s Power Minister Iqbal Hasan Mahmud has directed the preparation of a working paper to make the existing power system safer, smarter, and more modern as the country prepares to enter the nuclear electricity era. The instruction came during a review meeting held Monday morning at the ministry with chairmen and managing directors of transmission and distribution agencies. The meeting discussed the nation’s current power transmission and distribution capacity, weaknesses, and the challenges of launching a nuclear power system.
The minister emphasized identifying potential challenges early and taking immediate steps to address them. He highlighted the importance of establishing a National Research Center to ensure safety and technical readiness before nuclear power generation begins. The Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) was tasked with conducting studies and preparing a concept paper, which will later be reviewed by foreign consultants experienced in nuclear power. Based on their advice, necessary upgrades to the transmission and distribution systems will be completed before nuclear power integration.
The minister also noted that unnecessary projects in the power sector have been identified and will be investigated, urging all stakeholders to work together for national development.
