Bangladesh’s Minister of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku, stated that there is currently no load shedding anywhere in the country. Speaking at a press briefing following a session with district commissioners at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in Dhaka, he explained that the recent power disruptions were temporary and caused by mechanical problems. He said two machines had broken down but were repaired within a week, restoring full power supply.
The minister clarified that any local power outages now are due to line faults, not generation shortages. He emphasized that the country’s current generation capacity is sufficient to maintain an uninterrupted power supply. Addressing questions from journalists, he added that rural areas might experience delays in power restoration because of long distribution lines, but these are promptly fixed once faults are located.
Tuku also dismissed concerns about fuel shortages, asserting that load shedding has never occurred due to a lack of fuel. He said Bangladesh has sufficient fuel stock and continues to make regular purchases. On the issue of capacity charges, he noted that discussions are ongoing to find a solution.
