BD Power Sector Reform Law-2002
Following the establishment of an independent Bangladesh in 1971, the
Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) was formed on May 31, 1972, through
Presidential Order (PO 59). It was separated from the previous WAPDA and
commenced its operations with an installed capacity of merely 500 MW as a
unified entity responsible for power generation, transmission, and
distribution, tasked with illuminating and industrializing this war-affected
nation. Subsequently, the entire or portions of the power transmission,
generation, and distribution system of BUBO were transferred to various other
organizations, including the Rural Electrification Board (BAPBIBO), Dhaka
Power Distribution Company (DPDC) Ltd., Dhaka Electric Supply Company (DESCO)
Ltd., Power Grid Bangladesh PLC, Ashuganj Power Station Company Limited
(APSCL), Electricity Generation Company of Bangladesh (EGCB) Ltd., West Zone
Power Distribution Company (OZOPDICO) Ltd., North-West Power Generation
Company (NOWPECO) Ltd., Northern Electricity Supply Company (NESCO) Ltd.,
Rural Power Company Limited (RPCL), BR PowerGen Limited (BRPL), Coal Power
Generation Company Bangladesh Limited (CPGCBL), Bangladesh-China Power Company
Limited (BCPCL), and Bangladesh-India Friendship Power Company Private Limited
(BIFPCL).

Ltd., Dhaka Electric Supply Company (DESCO) Ltd., West Zone Power Distribution
Company (OZOPDCO) Ltd., and Northern Electricity Supply Company (NESCO) Ltd.,
