Tariff, supply cost and subsidy
As of: FY2022-23 (BPDB), FY24 (MTMPS), FY2026-27 (speech).
Bulk tariff and supply cost are BPDB's printed single-buyer averages. The implied gap is derived from them and is a different measure from the MTMPS subsidy line (not reconciled). Retail billing per kWh is billing divided by sales, not a tariff schedule: no retail tariff schedule is held. The MTMPS table header does not state per column whether a year is actual or revised.
Bulk tariff against bulk supply cost (implied gap derived in Tk billion, shown in Tk crore; 1 billion = 100 crore)
Capacity and generation mix
As of: FY2022-23.
Installed and derated capacity are the BPDB and BBS figures for the grid; the sources do not print an 'available capacity' series, so none is served. Capacity fuels (Diesel, Solar PV, Power Import) and generation fuels (HSD, Renewable incl. wind, Import) are the sources' own categories and are not merged.
- Derated capacity, FY2022-23
- 24,171 MW
- BBS, Statistical Yearbook Bangladesh 2023, Chapter 6: Energy, p. 292
- Derated as a share of installed, FY2022-23
- 97%
- Computed from served inputs
- Peak served, FY2022-23
- 15,648 MW

Installed capacity by fuel
Domestic gas output
As of: FY2021-22 (BBS) and FY2024-25 (Petrobangla).
FY2021-22 is BBS Table 6.25 (producing fields, Sub Total A); FY2024-25 is Petrobangla's report. The two tables come from different publishers: the change is a cross-source comparison, and fields are paired by name after fixing spelling (Narshingdi/Narsingdi, Saldanadi/Saldanodi, Begumgonj/Begumganj, Maulavibazar/Moulvibazar, Bangura/Bangora, Semutang/Semutung). Fields in only one table are listed, not paired. No capacity-utilisation series is served: the Petrobangla field capacity table is not legible in the extraction.

Demand the grid did not serve
As of: 2022-23.
Annual national totals only (BBS Table 6.02). Forecast demand is a forecast, so the gap is the forecast demand the grid did not serve at peak, not a measured outage.
