Until August 28, the per capita production of electricity in Bangladesh is 3 kWh. Which is the lowest among South Asian countries such as India, Pakistan or Sri Lanka? Since Bangladesh's independence, the power sector has been integrated into the Ministry of Power, Energy, and Mineral Resources. In order to accelerate the overall development of the sector, the power sector was converted into a separate power division in the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources in the first three years.
Nawab Ahsanullah of Dhaka took all financial measures. On December 7, the first light of the street-lit on the streets of Dhaka. Earlier, on July 7, a notice was issued by the Dhaka Municipality to inform them that the names of all roads and areas would be supplied. During this period, a council called "Dhaka Electric Trustees" was formed to manage the electricity system under the municipality.
By the time the British rulers left in 6, Bangladesh's electricity system was of a completely different nature, at that time there was no remote transmission system. In certain areas, electricity was used to produce all those areas. Power generation was done under private management. Besides, some industries (tea, sugar, and textiles) and railway workshops used their own electricity. In most districts, only electricity was supplied at night. The only exception was Dhaka City, where electricity was supplied by two 3-kilowatt generators and the electricity generated was 5 volts.
The production capacity of the power utility company was only 5 MW and the total production capacity of the country was 25 MW. In 6, the Department of Power was created to plan and develop the electricity supply situation. In 7, the Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) was created. In the 5th, a high power plant was built at Siddhirganj, Chittagong, and Khulna (the maximum capacity was 5 MW steam turbine at Siddhirganj).
Under the then Pakistani government: construction of the Kaptai Dam was started in the US-financed in 5 and its construction was completed in 12 years. Two 3 MW generators were installed in the Kaptai hydropower project, which was considered as a major power plant for the time being. Besides, work on setting up a 32 kV transmission line from Dhaka to Chittagong. Construction of the Kaptai Dam and the transmission line commissioning of Dhaka-Chittagong are considered as the first milestones in the development of the country's power sector.

The power generation capacity of Bangladesh and then East Pakistan rose from 5 MW to 5 MW between 3 and 5 years. Most of which was produced by natural gas and oil-powered generators, steam turbine generators, and water from electricity. Electricity transmission lines in Bangladesh are 25 kV and 12 kV
After the independence of Bangladesh, the Bangladesh Electricity Development Board was set up to accelerate the overall development process of the power sector and the Bangladesh Rural Electrification Board was set up on October 9 to accelerate the electrification of the rural areas.
Establishment of new power plants in the country under the Bangladesh Electricity Development Board. Electricity transmission line Rasaranera continues to work. The electrical transmission lines are connected between different cities and cities through a transmission line of 25 kW and 12 kV. On December 12, the first electric transmission line between the eastern and western regions of the country was connected together.
This connection is provided by a double-circuit 20 kV transmission line over the river Jamuna which connects the 12 kV transmission line between Tongi and Ishwardi. The power generation capacity of Bangladesh has increased to 25 MW from 12 to 12 years. By 6, the Bangladesh Electricity Development Board had increased the power generation capacity of the country to 25 MW.
The overall performance of the Bangladesh Electricity Development Board has declined drastically from 3 to 4 years, at which time the average system loss was about 12 percent, and the average outstanding bill amounted to about one and a half months. As a result, the report was presented to the Jatiya Sangsad on September 6. By 5 years, about 5 percent of the total electricity consumption in the country was used in the capital and adjoining areas.
