- Power Grid Bangladesh PLC, formerly known as Power Grid Company of Bangladesh Ltd., is a state-owned electric utility company that owns, operates, expands, and maintains the national power transmission grid throughout Bangladesh. Operating as a subsidiary of the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) and listed on the Dhaka Stock Exchange, the company functions as the sole entity responsible for high-voltage electricity transmission and bulk power wheeling across the country. The company's core operations and services encompass the planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of high-voltage transmission networks spanning 400 kV, 230 kV, and 132 kV alternating current (AC) and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission lines and grid substations; power transmission and wheeling services connecting state and independent power producers to national distribution utilities, including BPDB, Dhaka Electric Supply Company Limited (DESCO), Dhaka Power Distribution Company Limited (DPDC), Bangladesh Rural Electrification Board (BREB), West Zone Power Distribution Company Limited (WZPDCL), and Northern Electricity Supply Company PLC (NESCO); real-time grid monitoring, scheduling, and energy dispatch operations via the centralized National Load Dispatch Centre (NLDC); commercial leasing of optical ground wire (OPGW) dark fiber and high-capacity telecommunication bandwidth to licensed telecom carriers and internet service providers; and technical consultancy, engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) supervision, and turnkey project management for electrical infrastructure developments. Geographically, the company operates across all administrative divisions of Bangladesh and manages cross-border electrical interconnections linking Bangladesh with regional South Asian energy markets, including India and Nepal. In recent developments, the company adopted its corporate re-registration as Power Grid Bangladesh PLC and accelerated major grid modernization and evacuation initiatives, highlighted by the progressive energization and commissioning of the 400 kV transmission evacuation infrastructure for the 2,400 MW Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant, notably including the 400 kV Rooppur-Gopalganj transmission line and associated sub-stations. The company has also operationalized cross-border grid facilities facilitating tripartite sub-regional power trade to import hydroelectricity from Nepal through the Indian transmission grid into Bangladesh via the Bheramara-Baharampur interconnection, while advancing large-scale network reinforcement and grid resilience programs, such as the Barapukuria-Bogura-Kaliakoir 400 kV transmission corridor and the Greater Dhaka grid strengthening projects backed by multilateral development institutions including the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, KfW, and JICA. Founded in 1996, Power Grid Bangladesh PLC is headquartered in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
