EWI at the Ghorashal and Ashuganj end in the financial year 2010 was 3831 GWh, which is 50% increase over the previous year. The average fuel cost per unit generation of thermal power plants in the east and west zone under BPDB was Taka 0.88/KWh and Taka 3.76/KWh respectively. Transmission and distribution: Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB), Dhaka Electric Supply Authority (DESA), Rural Electrification Board (REB), Power Grid Company of Bangladesh (PGCB) are responsible for transmission and distribution of electricity. During the financial year 2009- 10, Khulna(s) – Gallamari 4.2 Km double circuit 132 KV transmission

line

under

ADP (Annual Development Programme) and Ashuganj -

Shahjibazar 53 Km 132 KV single circuit, Naogaon-Niamatpur 46 Km 132 KV single circuit & Aminbazar-Savar 13 Km 132 KV double circuit transmission lines from PGCB’s own fund were completed and energized. Construction of several 132 KV lines are under way. Some will be commissioned very soon. The length of 132 KV line of whole transmission network has been increased to 5754 circuit kilometre. Also, the length of 230 KV line of whole transmission network in the financial year 2010 is 2647.30 circuit kilometre and the length of route kilometre is 1324.40. The total length of distribution lines of 33 KV was 3827 Km, 11 KV was 9659 Km and 0.4 KV was 16,103 Km i.e. total distribution line was about 29,589 Km in the end of the financial year 2010. Distribution loss in BPDB’s own distribution zones has decreased to 13.06% from 13.57% in 2010. In the financial year 2009-10, the total capacity of 230/132 KV grid sub-station was 6850 MVA and a total of 225 MVA of new capacity of transformer was added. In this fiscal year, Gallamari 132/33 KV,

2×25/41 MVA,

Niamatpur 2×35/50 MVA & Savar 2×50/75 MVA sub-stations have been commissioned. Therefore, the total capacity of 132/33 KV sub-station was increased from 9529 to 9899 MVA. In this fiscal year, the total duration of grid failure was 32 hours 30 minuets which was about 57.44% lower than the interruption in the financial year 2009.
