Abstract

Since electricity is a powerful tool for development, Bangladesh has succeeded in ensuring that energy is distributed properly throughout the country. Huge demand for electricity compelled the Bangladeshi government to increase production using coal and natural gas. With the assistance of five separate agencies that are interconnected to oversee the distribution and import of power, the Bangladeshi government has now provided electricity to all of Bangladesh. Northern Electricity Supply Co. Ltd. (NESCO), one of these five entities, is in charge of managing the electricity supply to Bangladesh's northern region. Rangpur and Rajshahi are including in these territory and these two areas include 16 districts. NESCO has contributed to the power generation and electricity sector of Bangladesh since 2016 and now is one reliable name of Norhern Bangladesh in case of electricity power generation and distribution. This paper will attempt to analyze the potential and significance of NESCO in power supply in Bangladesh, and how far it goes with earning profit. The findings supported the objectives with scrunizing the extracted data and also propose a future prospect of what to do next with NESCO. SPSS and MS excel are used for data analysis in this paper.
