Ahsan noted that more than two out of three residents were without power in the South Asian country.
At the moment the cause of the failure is unknown, but “there is an ongoing investigation,” the spokesman told the AFP news agency.
According to a post on social networks by the Minister of Technology, Zunaid Palak, the supply will be restored at 8:00 p.m. (local time) in Dhaka, the country’s capital, with 22 million inhabitants.
Bangladesh has been suffering from a severe energy crisis for several months due to rising global fuel and gas prices following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Thus, it is that Dhaka has had to introduce “austerity measures” because it does not have enough financial resources to import diesel and gas in sufficient quantities to meet the demand for electricity.
Bangladesh suffered a major blackout in November 2014, and almost 70% of the country was without electricity for almost ten hours.
