State Minister for Power And Energy Nasrul Hamid yesterday said lack of adjustment between production and supply of power had caused the blackout across the country on November 1.
Nasrul made the remarks while discussing a report submitted by an inquiry committee with journalists at the Secretariat. The formal statement came after almost a month of the blackout incident.
The report was prepared by an eight-member probe body which had a former Power Development Board (PDB) chairman and seven current government high officials. The body had submitted a total of 32 recommendations to avert similar shutdowns in the future of which 22 were short-term measures and the rest were middle- and long-term measures.
However, the report did not name or blame any official or functionary for the blackout.
Talking to reporters, State Minister Nasrul said: “The blackout occurred due to the lack of adjustment between production and supply of power. The incident took place on that day as the existing system failed to manage the load of electricity.”
He said: “After a sudden gap emerged between power generation and demand, the blackout took place because of under frequency as it could not balance out with the demand.”
The state minister said the country’s national power grid was still at risk and to avoid such incidents in the future the government will be taking short, medium and long-term steps in modernisation of the power system.
