Rooppur Mein Nuclear Fuel Loading Shuru!
Ye nuclear fuel loading ka kaam 28 April 2026 ko shuru hua tha, aur plant jaldi hi electricity produce karna start kar dega, around late July ya early August 2026 tak. Rosatom ke saath milkar ye project Bangladesh ki badhti power demand ko poora karne mein help karega, jahan 2030 tak 30,000 MW se zyada ki demand ho sakti hai.
Energy Crisis Ka Scene Kyun Hai?
Abhi Bangladesh apni 65% energy needs ke liye imports par depend karta hai, jisme 44.31% energy use 2022 mein imported tha. Bijli banane ke liye lagbhag 95% fossil fuels use hote hain, jisme se 70% imported hain. Middle East ke conflicts se supply chain disturb hui hai aur imported oil & LNG ke daam badh gaye hain. Most imports Strait of Hormuz se guzarte hain, isliye ye area kaafi risky hai. Climate change ki wajah se garmi badh rahi hai, jisse electricity ki demand aur zyaada ho jaati hai, especially summer mein.
Projects Mein Delays Aur Cost Badhi
Rooppur project mein kaafi delays hue hain. Unit 1 2023 mein start hona tha, ab 2027 tak fully operate hoga, aur poora project June 2028 tak finish hoga. Cost bhi $12.65 billion se badhkar $13 billion ho gayi hai. Current energy gap mein domestic plants ka fuel issues ya technical problems ki wajah se below capacity chalna bhi ek reason hai, jiski wajah se baar-baar power cuts ho rahe hain.
Future Outlook Kya Hai?
Rosatom ke paas duniya bhar mein $127 billion ke nuclear construction orders hain. Bangladesh 2030 tak 20% electricity renewables se chahta hai, par progress slow hai. Rooppur ka 2,400 MW future needs ke liye vital hai, par abhi bhi energy shortages rahengi jab tak domestic production, efficiency, aur renewables mein improvement nahi hota.
