Bangladesh — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 282 energy assets in Bangladesh across 12 layers — the 34th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 128 power plants, 63 pipelines and 45 cement plants. Operating generation capacity is 27.5 GW, led by gas at 47%. Refining capacity is about 33 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are Gas Transmission Co Ltd (GTCL) (42), Bangladesh Power Development Board (21) and Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Co (TGTDCL) (10), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Bangladesh's mapped assets in service predate 2012 (median commissioning year of the 185 with a known date), 70 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Chhatak Cement Company Chhatak Cement Plant, dating from 1937. 40+ projects are under construction or proposed, led by Phulbari power station (Sinohydro) (4.0 GW).
