Bangladesh achieved its highest-ever electricity generation on Wednesday night, with power production reaching 17,200 megawatts at 9:00pm, according to a notification issued by Power Grid Bangladesh PLC.

The latest figure surpassed the previous record of 16,794MW set on 23 July 2025.

In its notification, the state-owned power transmission company said the record volume of electricity was transmitted smoothly across the country without disruption.

The company attributed the achievement to the coordinated efforts of power generation plants and all relevant electricity distribution agencies nationwide.
