National Grid Bounces Back as Electricity, Gas Supply Strengthen Together

The country has achieved remarkable progress in its energy sector, driving economic acceleration and boosting national industrial output. According to the latest data from the National Power Grid released on Monday, daily power generation hit a record peak of 14,848 MW. Domestic power plants generated 13,327 MW, satisfying 89.75% of the total grid demand. Meanwhile, regional cross-border imports from India and neighboring nations provided approximately 1,521 MW, contributing the remaining 10.25% needed to meet the national requirement.

Natural gas and coal remain the backbone of the nation’s total electricity production landscape. Gas-fired power stations generated roughly 5,117 MW, representing 34.46% of total electricity production, while coal-fired facilities added 4,931 MW, accounting for 33.21%. Liquid fuel plants supplied 2,664 MW, while renewable energy sources—such as solar, wind, and hydro—contributed 615 MW. Cross-border power supply via the Bheramara HVDC link, along with electricity imports from Adani and Tripura, played a major role in stabilizing grid operations.

Simultaneously, natural gas production maintains strong momentum to power the national economy and industrial growth. According to Petrobangla, substantial daily gas volumes flow into the national grid through international oil companies and domestic suppliers. Chevron-operated Bibiyana, Jalalabad, and Moulvibazar fields work alongside state companies like BGFCL, SGFL, and BAPEX to sustain total domestic energy output. Additionally, the strategic integration of Re-gasified Liquefied Natural Gas imports has successfully mitigated local gas shortages and bolstered grid supply.

Energy experts state that this consistent expansion in power and gas output fulfills vital demand across industries, residential areas, and fertilizer factories. Industry stakeholders note that ensured fuel supplies to power stations have restored operational stability, imparting fresh momentum across the economic landscape. Experts emphasize that maintaining active gas exploration alongside uninterrupted power plant operations will be essential to fortifying long-term national energy security.
