I think govt should already start working on the 2nd NPP. Feasibility, signing, construction will at least take 10 years

Rooppur's payment will start from 2027. Govt will have to spend around $1bn annually from then. This $1bn consists of capital, interest, fuel, maintenance, salary etc. But we also have look at the power it will produce. RNPP will produce around 19 billion kwh annually. If we were to produce the...

mortar shells fired from Myanmar have landed in Bangladesh near the border in Bandarban, causing panic among residents. Police said the shells fell close to a mosque half a kilometre from the Tumbru border of Ghumdhum, Naikhyangchhari around 2:30 pm on Monday. Authorities believe the shells...

Are you saying govt redirected external loan money of other projects to the bridge construction? The tax/gdp is indeed very low. It will be even lower if you see how and where the money is spent. Having debt also doesn't mean you're not financially capable to build something? Otherwise china...

I don't get it. Padma bridge was implemented with people's tax. And the money has already been spent. So how will it break down Bangladesh Bank, even if we don't consider that the bridge will be earning 900+ crore taka annually?

Lifetime co2 emission of solar is much higher than nuclear or wind, from construction to decommissioning. Still a good source of energy if you have the resources, but not reliable. As for a high density country like us with low fertile land/person, solar is definitely not the way to go. For...

Fun Fact: To get the same amount of electricity as the Rooppur Nuclear Plant, we will have to install a massive 7200MW worth of solar plant. Because solar has low efficiency, in fact solar is the least efficient among other power sources. In Bangladesh, solar plant has an efficiency of around...

Government had set a target of generating 10% of total electricity from renewable sources by 2021, but it is only 3.5% as of now. Bangladesh has experienced a boost in solar energy since 1996, starting with the introduction of small units of the solar home system (SHS) across the country –...

Concreting of the inner containment dome of the reactor building has started at the unit-2 of the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant. The work is being carried out by the TrestRosSEM, a branch of the Rosatom Engineering Division. The inner containment is one of the key elements of the nuclear power...

Absolutely fair demand. 120tk daily is nothing in present condition

Crude price + premium = refined petroleum price This might be how it is. Although not fully sure

BRUH!

That is the rate for refined petroleum. Because bd doesn't have much refining capacity

Overall loss is 6 taka per litre, because diesel holds the largest share of consumption around 80% Another thing to note is that before the price hike, monthly loss was around 3000 crore taka.

Russia has offered to export refined petroleum to Bangladesh lower than the international price. Bangladesh imports 5-6 million tons of refined fuel per annum. But due to high international prices, the government had to increase the price of fuels almost by 50%. So the government is now looking...
