Development Policies for the. Power Sector in Bangladesh and the Priority of the Project In its 7th Five-Year Plan (FY2016/17–FY2020/21), the Government of Bangladesh set addressing the soaring demand for power as one of its top-priority challenges. In addition to expressing an intention to give prioritized budget allocation to bolster the nation's power generation, transmission and distribution, the government has set an urban development goal of using local land resources more effectively and moderating the soaring demand for housing and urban services. The Project will newly construct an underground substation beneath an existing substation site without suspending operation by employing techniques used for high-density urban areas in Japan. After completion, the new substation is expected to temporarily substitute the capacities of other existing substations and allow the government to lay the groundwork for boosting the entire power equipment in Dhaka by expanding the existing local substations one at a time. Thus, the project is considered to be an initiative that will achieve the priority policies and development goals advocated by the Government of Bangladesh.
Development Policies for the. Power Sector in Sri Lanka and the Priority of the Project The Ministry of Power and Energy (MOPE) that controls the country's power policies defined stable power supply and energy efficiency improvement as key policies under its National Energy Policy for Sri Lanka. Now, the country is working to construct and enhance power transmission and distribution facilities to satisfy its ever-growing power demands. For power transmission lines in particular, Sri Lanka has taken aggressive measures to reduce loss rate by reinforcing and rehabilitating aging transmission lines. Thanks to these efforts, the island has seen some improvements in power transmission and distribution losses. Specifically, the 2009 transmission and distribution loss rate of 13.90% was successfully lowered to 10.79% in 2013. Sri Lanka's transmission and distribution loss rate is still considered high compared to developed countries and the ASEAN countries (6.9% for Thailand and 6.4% for Malaysia in 2011), leaving room for further improvements. Accordingly, Sri Lanka is going to introduce Low-loss transmission lines for further reduction of transmission loss rate. This Project aims to stabilize power supply and improve energy efficiency throughout the nation through construction, renewal, and enhancement of power transmission and distribution facilities in the targeted areas of the country, including Greater Colombo—the largest demand center. It is thus in line with Sri Lankan government's development policies.
