Significant skill upgrade and capacity building of the workforce is also key to sustain growth of the power sector in Bangladesh. Mamun Rashid, managing partner, PwC Bangladesh said: “Bangladesh’s power sector is one of the fastest growing in the South Asian region. Private sector participation in transmission and distribution will bring investment and better service in this sector. Speaking on the sector, Latif Khan, president, BIPPA and Vice Chairman of Summit Group said: “There are certain issues concerning regulation, financing and technology prevalent in the private power generation sector today. Bangladesh’s power industry today needs to address these to attain our shared goal of implementing the Private Sector Power Generation Policy (PSPGP) and Power System Master Plan (2016).”
