Verification status set to 'partial' because: (1) the chairman and members of the 13th Parliament's Article 76 Standing Committee on Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources have not been publicly announced as of 2026-05-17 -- the first session (March 12 to April 30, 2026) formed only five procedural/structural committees, and ministry-specific standing committees are expected to be constituted in the second session; (2) the established_year 1973 reflects activation of the standing committee system under the first Jatiya Sangsad, not the current parliament's own committee. IMPORTANT STRUCTURAL DISTINCTION: The '10-member Special Parliamentary Committee on Energy' (formed April 26, 2026, chaired by Minister Iqbal Hassan Mahmood, first meeting May 3, 2026) is a separate, time-limited body formed under Rule 266 of the Rules of Procedure -- it is tracked separately under slug 'special-parliamentary-committee-on-energy'. The Article 76 standing committee shadowing the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources is a permanent committee reconstituted each parliament and has not yet been formed in the 13th Parliament. ADANI REVIEW: The National Review Committee that found corruption in the Adani deal was an executive-branch body (chaired by retired Justice Moinul Islam Chowdhury), not this committee -- its findings have been transmitted to the Ministry and to Parliament via ministerial statements. BERC TARIFF: BERC's May 20-21 public hearing on the bulk and retail electricity tariff hike is a regulatory process under the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission Act 2003; parliamentary oversight of BERC outcomes is the standing committee's domain once constituted. LNG NUMBERS: the $28.28/MMBtu spot price and $3.88 billion 2025 import cost are sourced from The Daily Star and Global Voices/Juan Cole citing Petrobangla data; the Tk 47,000 crore arrears figure is from The Voice News and Dhaka Tribune (April 2026).
