The technical committee of the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has proposed to raise retail electricity prices by Tk 1.21 to Tk 8.23 per unit.
The proposal was made during a hearing of electricity distributors and suppliers in Dhaka on Sunday, during which the companies argued for an increase in the electricity price, reports bdnews24.com.
A five-member BERC panel that included Chairman Md Abdul Jalil heard the arguments.
At present, the per unit retail electricity price is Tk 7.02.
