Given the energy crisis, the youth have been experiencing a myriad of issues.

Gamers operate on a different league of insanity when their monitors suddenly go dark in front of their eyes.

If needed electricity supply to other sectors will be halted during the daytime in order to increase supply of electricity to industries and agriculture, said Prime Minister's Energy Affairs Adviser Tawfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury today (October 23, 2022).

Some say that living in Dhaka is not easy and for those who have lived here for years, nothing is easy. In fact, living in this city makes it easier to tolerate any other inconvenience with a hair-flip. Someone spat inches away from your feet? Tolerate. It landed on you? Wipe and move on. The world might have a fancy word like noise pollution for needlessly honking cars but we know it for what it really is — soothing white noise that one could even fall asleep to. Which happens often, during the long respites the city graciously bestows on us to and from work every day without fail. We lovingly call them traffic jams.

The lack of transparency in the energy sector is costing the nation dearly.

Industries, already under huge pressure for the fall in gas supply and higher input costs, have been hit with power outages in the last few days, which have raised the production cost and may force factories to cut output. 

Business and industrial activities were disrupted for several hours since yesterday afternoon as the national power grid failed, plunging half of the country into darkness.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today (August 31, 2022) said Russia-Ukraine war and Covid-19 pandemic may have a negative impact on country’s balance of payment.

Saving electricity at home helps reduce your household's need for energy, and in turn, helps reduce the demand for fossil fuels. Whether you are a homeowner, a private or social renter, a student, or you live with your parents, there are many things you can do. The best way to start saving on your electricity costs is to get smart with how you use electricity.

State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid has claimed that the power supply situation has been better in the current month than that in the previous month.

The power load has moved one hour earlier following the rescheduling of office hours, State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid said today.

Load-shedding and power cuts are now common phenomena in Bangladesh, and sadly, these are both unpredictable and can last for hours. And the current energy crisis engulfing the whole country has done nothing but increase our sufferings. No matter how painful load-shedding is, this regular occurrence has become an inseparable part of our lives—just as the agonising traffic jam and much-dreaded water logging. With some prudence and precautions, we can make the hours that we have to spend without eccentricity less distressing and perhaps, useful and productive. Below some pointers have been laid out for you to deal with load-shedding smartly.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today (August 14, 2022) said that she is fully aware of public suffering due to the record fuel price hike and load shedding, and completely empathises with them.

If things are bad, there must be a good reason for it.

Businesses today agreed to implement the government’s instruction to go for zone-wise weekly shut down of industries to save electricity and continue production in mills and factories.

State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid has said that the government is trying to minimise load shedding from this month.

The government has started rationing electricity supply to manage the ongoing energy crisis. But what do experts have to say about the real origin and effective solution of this crisis?

One of the first 'culprits' of energy leakage identified during the first week of the government’s austerity drive was air conditioners.

When you reduce or limit your energy use, you limit your impact on the environment. Remember, most of the electricity we consume comes from burning fossil fuels like natural gas, petroleum (oil), and coal, all of which are non-renewable resources. The world is in an energy crisis. However, every cloud has a silver lining; perhaps, this is a good time for us to start changing our lifestyles, habits, and energy use for a better, cleaner, and greener future.

Government must stop entertaining 'capacity' payments to the plants
