State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid on Tuesday said gas from Bhola will be added to the national grid next month (February).
“We hope that we can start supplying gas from Bhola in the next month and it can be carried through CNG,” he said while talking to reporters after a meeting with Deputy Commissioners at Osmani Auditorium in the capital, reports UNB.
Answering to a question about increase of gas price, Nasrul said, “We said there will be a policy to sync the price of gas in coordination with the international market price every month and it will depend on the price of fuel and we will take steps in this regard.”
“The irrigation season is starting and the month of Ramadan is also coming. We should work together keeping in mind the current situation of fuel in the global market,” he said.
The minister also urged the DCs to be more cautious in using gas and power at the district and division level.
Nasrul also urged the DCs to ensure uninterrupted power supply on priority basis in hospitals, industries and agriculture sector.
The state minister also asked them to consider whether the barren lands can be used to generate solar power and whether solar power can be used in the government buildings.
