CHITTAGONG, Feb 4: Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET), in collaboration with the Chittagong Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCCI), arranged a roundtable meeting on "Captive Power for Electricity" in the city recently.
Speaking as the chief guest of the occasion, CUET Vice Chancellor Mir Shahidul Islam said, formulation of a time-befitting guideline is imperative for establishing captive power plant.
If properly operated, it would be possible to ensure maximum utilisation of power during peak and off-peak hours, he added.
He also called for devising means for the utilisation of captive power. This would pave the way to ensure power to the consumers, he said.
CCCI President Saifuzzaman Chowdhury in his address said, utilisation of power in an enhanced manner would significantly help the country in its overall economic progress and also play a vital role towards her durable socio-economic uplift.
DG of the Power Division of the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources BD Rahmatullah said, if discipline could be restored in the power sector, the system loss would decline to two per cent, the total extent of which would be 1000 m/w.
