Electric Power Generation-Mix for Bangladesh and Its Future

Abstract

Bangladesh is a developing country and over populated nation using electricity 80% of people. Electricity demand is gradually rising day by day. Electric power generation-mix is share sources from where electricity produces. Generation sources are significant for the country those depend on geography, demography, environment and economics. So, natural gas is large share in electricity generation mix in Bangladesh. Respectively other sources like oil, coal, hydro, renewable energy are contributed for generating electricity. In future, renewable, coal, uranium will be more in generation share. The cost of electricity depends on economic and market of country. In this paper, spatiotemporal data of electric power generation mix and cost are analyzed and revealed electricity cost of per unit varies with consumer and distribution line Voltage. The analysis of this paper shows future of electric generation mix (renewable energy, coal and uranium) is best option for the large capacity power plant in Bangladesh to satisfy electricity demand
