Success in Power Sector of Bangladesh – Gradually, such pre-payment meter will be reduced if the rate of the remaining bill is reduced. The proper use of electricity will be ensured. The World Bank will provide another five and a half million dollar loan to increase the use of solar power in the country, which is Tk 456 crore in Bangladeshi currencies. This money will be spent under the development of rural electrification and renewable energy. In this regard, Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL) will provide 1,000 solar power-powered solar irrigation pumps and 30 solar mini grids. Current 10% people use solar power. If the project is implemented, as well as about one crore villages people will receive this power facility along with irrigation. Besides, 9 lac tons of diesel used to run the irrigation pump would be spent in the year and subsidy was given at Tk 24-26 per liter. As a result, the Government has saved 65 crore rupees in the last one year, if the solar pump is installed, the government will be saved.
