Kudos to The Daily Star and the writer for this commendable presentation of facts about AL government's amazing success and progress in the power sector. I'm sure the nation is benefiting from this progress, and this excellent report would also be beneficial for the people.

People of the country are forgetting the miseries of power crisis they experienced before.

That is a great achievement of the government. Hopefully, they will do some good work in their last few days in power.

This is funny. Did it occur to you that quick rentals are not a sustainable solution? And coal power is the dirtiest energy there is. The world is turning away from it.

It is widely known that rental power is not sustainable, but at the time of implementation (2010) it was immensely useful since gas reserves were (and still are) too scanty for meeting electricity demands. Coal creates heavy pollution, but let us face the reality -- Bangladesh has very few options... gas reserves are running out... exploration in the Bay of Bengal will not yield enough to meet supply... oil is expensive and will get more expensive... importing LPG is expensive too. So how do we meet our needs?

Guys like you won't let the government operate coal mine in Fulbari, won't let them import electricity from India and won't even let them install nuclear power plants. How do you expect the government to solve the power crisis? Power does NOT come from air.

These rental power plants should not be regarded as a government success. These are temporary and there are many questions surrounding them.

"Now power supplies by the Power Development Board (PDB) are hardly less than the demands from customers." Really!! I am an owner of a factory in Chittagong. And yesterday my factory generator clocked 5.00 hours in an 8.00 hour shift from 2.30 to 10.30 pm.
