Major General Abul Kalam Mohammad Ziaur Rahman said that one of the conditions of industrialization is infrastructural facilities, assurance of energy and continuous power generation.

"With the aim of ensuring continuous power supply to the industries and factories of EPZ, BEPZA is working to achieve self-sufficiency by reducing the dependence on other sources." He added.

He also said that electricity is already being supplied through two power plants of 80 MW and 72 MW respectively in Dhaka EPZ and Chattogram EPZ. Also construction of Karnaphuli EPZ and one more power plant has been completed. It is expected that the power plant will start generating electricity by next March.
