PM’s Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Affairs Adviser Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury says
Prime Minister's Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Affairs Adviser Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury has said about 80 million cubic feet of gas will be shipped from the Bhola gas field to be added to the national grid in two to three months.
Tawfiq-e-Elahi gave the information while addressing an event on "Mitigation of the Impact of Energy Crisis on the Industrial Sector" organised by the Bangladesh Chamber of Industries (BCI) at a hotel in the city on Sunday, reports BSS.
In his speech, Tawfiq-e-Elahi informed that some coal-based power plants will come into production soon.
"Then, we would be able to reduce the gas supply for electricity generation and give some gas for industrial use. If the situation does not improve after this, we may have to refrain from using any electricity during the day if necessary," he added.
He urged all to be economical in using electricity to ensure electricity supply for all, especially in industries.
