Intro energy: Electric Power is the secondary source of energy being derived from natural physical form of energy.

It is formed by converting some other form of energy. A number of challenges and crisis are being faced by this sector. Some improvement was witnessed but could not correspond to the desired demand. There is claim that financial and technical issues are involved in resolving this crisis. To bring some improvement in the output capacities and performance of generation companies (GENCOs), international donor agencies have been providing technical and financial support to GENCOs in their rehabilitation efforts, however expected results would be confirmed when some of these on-going projects are completed. Similarly, rehabilitation for additional capacity of hydropower plants with the help of international donor agencies would be completed over next couple of years. National Transmission and Dispatch Company plans to add 6100 MVA of new 500/220 kV grids over the next two years. Similarly it has planned to add 6400 MVA of new 220/132 kV grids over next three years. NTDC has also initiated reinforcement and extensions in two of its 500/220 kV and six of its 220/132 kV Grid stations. However, the critical issue is that according to NTDC, the annual electricity demand growth rate is forecasted to hover around 5 to 6 percent over next ten years. With current position of expansion, it seem that crisis will not be over which in turn will effect economic growth of the country
