Power plant in Bangladesh

Starved of coal: Payra power plant may shut for weeks

Coal shortage has forced officials to shut down a 660 megawatt unit of Payra power plant on May 25, a first in its three years of operation, and if things stay as they are, the other unit of the plant will stop production in about a week.

Why must the public bear the burden of power sector subsidies?
