Bangladesh produces 60 percent of its electricity from natural gas. The rest is produced using diesel, furnace oil and coal. Dependence on natural gas is not good as the source of energy is exposed to price volatility. Gas reserves in Bangladesh are depleting fast, prompting the government to look at ways to diversify the energy mix. Nuclear power is crucial for Bangladesh to bringing its entire population under the national grid and ensuring long-term energy security. Nuclear energy will continue to be a leading source of electricity in future, and its share in global energy mix would go up. Bangladesh build two nuclear power plants to produce 2,400 megawatts of electricity in total. The main construction work will start in 2017. The first unit is expected to go into production in 2022 and the second in 2023. It will be safe and nuclear power could be a viable option for Bangladesh to ensure energy security.
