Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB)

Dr. Abdur Razzak

Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) is a statutory body created in May 1, 1972, by presidential Order No. 59 after bifurcation of erstwhile Bangladesh Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA).

BPDB started its operation with Generation capacity of only 180 MW. In FY 2013, Generation capacity (both public and private) has increased to about 8500 MW. As part of reform and restructuring a number of Generation and Distribution companies have been created. The subsidiaries of BPDB are: Ashuganj Power Station Company Ltd. (APSCL) Electricity Generation Company of Bangladesh (EGCB) North West Power Generation Company Ltd. (NWPGCL) West Zone Power Distribution Company Ltd. (WZPDCL)
BPDB is under the Power Division of the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, Government of Bangladesh.

Power transmission in Bangladesh

Dr. Abdur Razzak

Transmission voltage (national grid, inter-district connection)

230 kV, 1500A and 750A 132 kV, mostly 600A, some are 1500A

Highest system (transmission) voltage

230 kV (existing), 400 kV (proposed) 400 kV (U/C) from Baharampur, India to Veramara, Bangladesh

Highest transmission voltage in other parts of the world

India: 400 kV (existing), 800 kV (proposed), USA, Canada:765 kV China: 1000 kV, Japan:1000 kV, Ukraine: 1150 kV (highest in the world)

Power transmission companies

Power Grid Company Bangladesh Ltd. (PGCB) is responsible for Operation, Maintenance and Development of the transmission system of the Country for distribution of generated electricity.
