| Description |
The TA will contribute to ensuring a sustainable, affordable, and reliable pwoer supply in Bangladesh, while improving efficiency in the power sector. The outcome of the TA is to develop a least-cost project design and feasibility studies agreed between the Government and ADB, along with a comprehensive power sector efficiency improvement program to be adopted by the Government. |
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy |
Included in 2008 Country Operations and Business Plan for Bangladesh. |
| Impact |
The impact of the proposed TA (and outcome of the ensuing loan) will be increased power supply capacity and improved efficiency in the power sector. |
