Abstract:
Narayanganj Palli Bidyut Samity-1 service area consists of Rupgonj (Tarabo Pourshova), Bandar and Sonargaon Thana. The objective of the PBS is to provide electric power and energy to each village positioned within its geographical service area for irrigation pumping, food processing, cottage industries and other small or big industries, commercial centers, health and social services and family homes. This objective is to be accomplished through the Area Coverage Rural Electrification (ACRE) concept by constructing, operating and maintaining lines up to 33 kv, extending lines from existing distribution system. Each potential customer within the PBS service area may become a member of the PBS, the membership being achieved by application and payment of minimal subscription fee. Providing electric power and energy to its user members at the lowest cost possible consistent with sound economy and good management is a prime requirement of the PBS.
