Coal, LNG import in peril
City-dwellers experiencing load shedding at least twice a day
Adviser for Power, Energy, and Mineral Resources Muhammad Fouzul Kabir Khan told Deshkal News, “We are facing delays in LNG imports because of high prices in the spot market. We don’t have long-term agreements with major suppliers, so we are exploring cheaper options. However, in the coming winter months, demand will decline, and loadshedding will not be a major issue. Even now, the current load shedding is very insignificant compared to the previous situation when people faced three to four hours of power cuts.”
Energy expert Professor Shamsul Alam told Deshkal News, “This government is following the same path as the previous one. They did not prioritise domestic energy exploration and relied excessively on imports. That’s why this situation has emerged.”
