POWER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN (PSMP)

PSMP 2010 : Long term planning up to 2030
Study completion : February 2011
Findings generation capacity requirement :
- By 2021 : 24,000 MW (base); 26,000 MW (high)
- By 2030 : 39,000 MW (base) ; 47,000 MW (high)
- Coal based capacity by 2030 : 20,000 MW (base)
Other Key Findings :
- Coal and Nuclear for base load power requirement.
- Cross Border Trade with neighbouring countries.

UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES IN FORMULATING LONG TERM PLAN

Present highly skewed fuel mix needs to be changed.

Liquid fuel and later even Gas will be costly.

Coal needs to occupy a major space to balance the cost

structure of power.

Mix of Domestic and Imported Coal needs to be appropriately

fixed both for optimal cost and also for energy security.

Cross Border and Regional Trade possibility needs to be

factored.

Transmission capability enhancement and shift to higher

voltages will be needed.

REPOWERING OF GAS BASED POWER PLANTS

Gas Based Steam Turbine System is inefficient.
Even open cycle Gas Turbine has been phased out
in most of the countries (except for peaking
power).
Efficiency

Steam Turbine Less than 30% Efficiency.

Open Cycle About 40% Efficiency.
Combined Cycle About 60% Efficiency.

Formation of PGCB
Under the Process of Power Sector Restructuring
As per recommendation of eight member
working group for Power Sector Restructuring,
Govt. decided to create Power Grid Company Of
Bangladesh Ltd. (PGCB) in the ECNEC meeting
held on 18 September, 1996.
Power Grid Company Of Bangladesh Ltd. (PGCB)
established on 21 November96 under the
Companies Act, 1994.
PGCB took over the responsibility for whole grid
network operation & maintenance from 31 st
Dec, 2002.
10

PGCB
A public limited company incorporated in 1996 through
sponsorship of BPDB.
At present 76.25% ownership with BPDB & 23.75%
with general public.
BPDB holding the ownership on behalf of Govt.
Present head office at Institution of Engineers ,

SAVING OUT OF 500 MW POWER IMPORT

500 MW means about 4,000 Million Units of
Power.
Average price per year 6 Tk/Kwhr.
Average price of Liquid Fuel Power 16 Tk/Kwhr.
Per Unit Saving 10 Tk.
Annual Saving -

Tk 40,000 Million.

= Tk 4,000 Crores.
