Load Shedding means the interruption of the electricity supply. It is a significant problem in Bangladesh. It affects millions of people daily. The primary reason for load shedding is the gap between electricity demand and supply.
As the population grows and industrial activities increase and the need for electricity rises. Unfortunately, the power generation capacity of Bangladesh has not kept pace with this growing demand.
The impact of load shedding is widespread. Households often face frequent power cuts, disrupting everyday activities like cooking, studying, and working. Businesses, especially small ones, face lower productivity and higher costs because they depend on costly backup generators. Educational institutions also face problems, because power outages interrupt classes and stop students from learning properly.
The government is taking steps to solve this issue. Investments are being spent on new power plants. There is also a push to use renewable energy sources like solar and wind power. Efforts to make power plants more efficient and reduce transmission losses are happening. These steps makes hope for the better future. However, load shedding is still a daily problem for many in Bangladesh. It needs ongoing attention
