Abstract:
Sufficient power generation and proper supply is essential for socio-economic and infrastructural development of a developing country like Bangladesh. After independence in 1971, the country's most difficult and essential commodity was electricity, while some urban areas were covered by electricity facilities, it was a difficult task to reach people in rural areas. For that purpose, the government established the Rural Electrification Board from the Bangladesh Power Development Board in 1977 to deliver the electricity produced in Bangladesh to all parts of the country. At present, electricity is being delivered to 99.5% of people in Bangladesh through eighty rural electricity societies under the Rural Electrification Board. The utility of using electricity depends on its cost base, which is determined by the cost of generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. In this paper we have taken Madaripur Palli Bidyut Samity (MPBS) as a standard PBS which is a distribution company. Here we have presented their electricity purchase and sale information. Like energy import, energy distribution cost, monthly consumer, system loss, power factor penalty etc. We have also tried to highlight the social and economic impact of the region along with their number of customers, types of customers, substation equipment. We have also highlighted the organization's total distribution cost, distribution cost per unit, total supply cost, supply cost per unit, total revenue, power purchase cost, system loss, quotation and many more. By observing all these data, we can get an idea about the income and expenses of such distribution organizations in the future and we can invent new methods to balance income and expenses. Finally we can say that Madaripur Palli Bidyut Samity is an important distribution company which is playing an important role in electricity supply like other distribution companies.
