DHAKA

…Years of under-investment have meant state-owned power plants generate only around 4,000 megawatts of electricity a day but demand is 6,000 megawatts and growing at 500 megawatts a year due to increasing industrialisation.

Kabir said most of the power would be generated by coal and diesel and furnace fuel, ending the country’s long reliance on natural gas.
