Will try to limit load shedding this summer: Adviser

Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Adviser Muhammad Fouzul Kabir Khan has said they are trying to import additional liquified natural gas (LNG), adequate coal and other fuels in a bid to limit load shedding this summer.

"We will try to limit load shedding this summer. For this, we are trying to bring more LNG, sufficient coal and other fuels. Hope, we can manage it," he said.

Noting that load shedding will now remain at tolerable level, Fouzul Kabir said, "There will be no discrimination in electricity supply in rural and urban areas."

The adviser made the remarks in a seminar titled ''Energy Crisis: Way Forward' at Biddut Bhaban arranged by the Forum for Energy Reporters Bangladesh (FERB) on Saturday afternoon, April 26.
