Gas tariff hike likely for extra users Shamim Jahangir 26th July, 2021 10:06:56 PM The government is planning to impose extra tariff for those who use natural gas more than allocated. Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources has ordered the authorities concerned to submit a proposal in this regard to the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) ahead of the upcoming winter hearing. “We have found that some users are using natural gas 200 percent more than they have been allocated. This has created additional pressures on the distribution companies,” said State Minister for Power and Energy Nasrul Hamid. “We are planning strict measures against such additional consumption of the natural gas,” he said.
