Power Distribution Network[From Grid to Distribution
Network]
• BPDB is responsible for distribution of electricity in most of urban areas in
Bangladesh except Dhaka Metropolitan City and its adjoining areas under DPDC
and DESCO, areas under West Zone Power Distribution Company Limited
(WZPDCL) and some of the rural areas under Rural Electrification Board ( REB).
