Bangladesh supplied 10,565.00 million kWh of electricity against reported demand of 10,957.45 million kWh in October 2026, leaving 392.46 million kWh, or 3.58%, unserved. The supply gap improved sharply toward month-end, falling to just 0.16% during 29–31 October. However, generation economics remained challenging: HFO supplied only 16.27% of electricity but accounted for 41.02% of allocated generation cost, while imports provided 11.98% of total supply.
1. Executive Summary
Across 31 October 2026 operating days, Bangladesh’s power system supplied 10,565.00 million kWh against reported demand of 10,957.45 million kWh. Recorded unserved electricity was 392.46 million kWh, equivalent to 3.58% of demand. Average daily supply was 340.81 million kWh, while average daily demand was 353.47 million kWh.
The month’s highest reported daily demand was 395.89 million kWh on 04 Oct, while the highest supplied energy was 366.88 million kWh on 01 Oct. The largest daily unserved-energy episode reached 39.178 million kWh on 15 Oct. By contrast, the lowest daily shortfall was 0.00% on 23 Oct, highlighting a marked late-month easing in the energy gap.
Fuel composition remained concentrated in gas and coal, which together contributed 69.06% of supplied energy. However, liquid fuel remained materially expensive: HFO alone supplied 16.27% of monthly electricity but absorbed 41.02% of allocated generation cost. Imported electricity accounted for 1,265.35 million kWh, or 11.98% of…
