“Bangladesh eyes 2,000MW more by 2018” (March 7, 2015)
Shabbir A. Bashar
In order to reach one of the Millennium Development Goals jointly declared with the UN of becoming a middle income country by 2021, Bangladesh needs to generate 20,000MW or 120Whr/person. That's only 5 years to double the current capacity which seems highly unlikely. Hence the promise to quadruple capacity to 40,000MW in 15 years based on suppositions and without a tangible clear time-line sounds far fetched.

I suppose a middle income country should be a country with a minimum income of US$15,000-US$20,000 per person per annum and where every household has running water and adequate sanitation facilities. I don't think that even India can be a middle income country by 2035. Actually income and distribution of income is important when one calculates the per capita income.
Why is there the idea of importing electricity from India instead of setting up more power plants and producing at home? And why should India sell electricity when it is short of it? What is the logic?
