According to official sources, Dhaka Power Distribution Company Ltd (DPDC) has undertaken the project to implement it during the 2019-2022 period as part of its development program. Power Division officials said the new project was undertaken as part of the government's current target to improve power distribution and transmission system after its success in power generation. "As a result, many areas face power outage despite surplus power generation," said a senior official at the Power Division. Officials said DPDC mainly operates power distribution systems in Dhaka's central and south-west parts and major parts of Narayanganj city, and the project will be implemented in the two cities. Officials said the project will facilitate the uninterrupted power supply until 2030 and another new project will be required to continue such facility.
