Power Division has been providing RLNG demand of power plants since 2017 based and LNG is being imported to cope with the demand for electricity generation.

Public sector Generation Companies (Gencos), National Transmission and Despatch Company (NTDC) / National Power Control Centre (NPCC), Private Power and Infrastructure Board (PPIB) and Central Power Purchasing Agency – Guaranteed (CPPA-G) are working under the administrative control of Power Division which implies that demand for fuel for power generation – whether furnace oil, gas or RLNG – is provided by the Power Division.
