Abstract:
This thesis is on “Study on Determination of Electricity Distribution cost of Narayanganj
PBS-1”.
Electricity distributions convey information on internal system operation to the actors
involved. Electricity pricing is, then, of major importance both in liberalized and regulated
systems. Most electricity consumers interact with the industry only through the price they
pay for these service. Consequently, good tariff design reflects industry regulation as a
whole and is the instrument used to provide consumers with the right signals. Day by day
the challenge becomes really to harder to meet up power crisis, especially to meet up power
crisis in rural area. So government formed Rural Electrification Board (REB) from
Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) to fulfill the power demand for village
people. Tariff rate of electrical power depends on transmission and distribution cost. This
thesis study on electricity import of Narayanganj PBS-1 consumer levels and their unit
consumption in different season and cost associated electricity supply. This Paper also
finds the total Distribution cost, Distribution cost per unit, supply cost, supply cost per unit,
total revenue, total revenue per unit, energy purchase cost, system loss, surplus etc. This
paper will also be helpful to get knowledge a stable electricity distribution structure to meet
the future electricity crisis of Bangladesh. Electricity distribution cost is important issue in
our country. Because electricity tariff rate and distribution cost are related with our
economic growth. Although distribution costs are usually the largest part of the access tariff
(or use of system charge), there is not a universally accepted methodology for distribution
pricing. The earliest attempts at cost allocation conformed what is now known as the
accounting approach, based on business accounting. In recent years, the proposals have
focused on two approaches: the application of long-term marginal (or incremental) cost
and the cost-causality principle. Although the former aims to achieve a better economic
signal, because of the difficulties surrounding its implementation, the most usual solution
applied in practice draws more heavily from the causality principle
