Utility services are foundational to the manufacturing industry, affecting everything from operational efficiency and cost management to safety and environmental compliance. Proper management and optimization of these services can lead to enhanced productivity, sustainability, and competitiveness in the global market.

These services are essential in the manufacturing industry for several reasons. These services include electricity, water, natural gas, steam, compressed air, and wastewater management.

Innovation and Competitiveness

Advanced Technologies: Implementation of advanced utility management systems and energy-efficient technologies can improve productivity and competitiveness.
Cost Reduction: Efficient utility use leads to significant cost savings, which can be invested in further innovation and expansion.

Common procedures to connect utility services for manufacturing industry in Bangladesh:

Electricity powers machinery, lighting, and various electronic systems. Reliable electricity supply is crucial for continuous operations, especially in automated and high-tech manufacturing processes.

Obtaining industrial power in Bangladesh involves a series of steps that typically include application processes, compliance with regulatory requirements, and coordination with utility providers.

Here is a detailed guide to help you understand how to secure industrial power for your facility:

1. Assess Power Requirements

Determine Load Requirements: Calculate the total power requirement for your industrial facility, including machinery, equipment, lighting, and other electrical loads.
Future Expansion: Consider potential future expansion needs to ensure the power supply can accommodate growth.

1. Identify the appropriate power supplier Provider

Determine the local electricity distribution company responsible for your area. This could be:

2. Common Required Documents for Industrial Power Connection

Application Form: Obtain the application form for an industrial power connection from the utility provider’s office or website.
Company Registration Documents: Copies of your business registration and trade license.
Land Ownership or Lease Documents:Proof of ownership or lease agreement for the premises where the power connection is needed.
Load Plan: Detailed load plan indicating the power requirements and distribution within the facility.
Electrical Layout: Electrical layout and schematic diagrams of the internal wiring and distribution system.
National ID Card: Copy of the national ID card of the authorized person applying for the connection.
No Objection Certificate (NOC): NOC from the local municipality or relevant authority, if required.

3. Submission of Application

Fill out the application form accurately and attach all required documents and submit the completed application to the office of the utility provider.

4. Inspection and Feasibility Study

Site Inspection:The utility provider will conduct a site inspection to assess the feasibility of providing the required power connection.
Technical Evaluation: The technical team will evaluate the load plan, electrical layout, and the existing infrastructure to determine the necessary upgrades or installations.

5. Approval and Cost Estimate

Approval Process:Once the inspection and evaluation are completed, the utility provider will process your application for approval.
Cost Estimate:You will receive a cost estimate for the connection, including any charges for infrastructure upgrades, installation, and security deposits.

6. Payment of Charges

Payment: Pay the required charges as per the cost estimate provided by the utility provider. Ensure you keep the receipts as proof of payment.

7. Installation of Infrastructure

Infrastructure Upgrades: The utility provider will proceed with the necessary infrastructure upgrades, which may include installing transformers, substations, or extending distribution lines.
Internal Wiring: Ensure that the internal wiring and electrical installations within your facility comply with safety standards and regulations.

8. Connection and Meter Installation

Connection Setup:Once the infrastructure is in place, the utility provider will connect your facility to the power grid.
Meter Installation: An industrial-grade electricity meter will be installed to measure your power consumption.

9. Testing and Commissioning

Testing: The utility provider will conduct tests to ensure that the connection is stable and meets the required safety standards.
Commissioning: After successful testing, the power supply will be commissioned, and you can start using industrial power for your facility.

Obtaining an industrial gas connection in Bangladesh involves a systematic process that includes application, compliance with safety and regulatory standards, and coordination with the relevant gas distribution company.

1. Assess Gas Requirements

Determine Gas Needs Calculate the total gas requirement for your industrial facility, including machinery, heating, and other uses.
Future Expansion: Consider potential future expansion to ensure the gas supply can accommodate growth.

Identify the appropriate Gas supplier Provider

Determine the local Gas distribution company responsible for your area. This could be:

Gas Connection

To meet rapidly growing domestic gas demand, Bangladesh government is looking to import LNG and set up adequate infrastructure. Dhaka has signed two agreements for setting up of FSRU in last almost one year. Petrobangla last year signed a contract with Excelerate Energy under which the latter would build and operate a floating terminal in Moheshkhali. Then earlier this year, the state-owned energy company signed a second agreement with a local private sector company Summit Group. This FSRU will also be located at Moheshkhali. In addition to these, Petrobangla has also signed an MoU with Indian Petronet for setting up of a land based terminal.

Securing an industrial water connection in Bangladesh involves a series of steps including application, compliance with regulatory requirements, and coordination with the relevant water supply authority.

Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (DWASA)

Dhaka Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (WASA) is a service oriented autonomous commercial organization in the Public sector, entrusted with the responsibility of providing water supply, sewerage disposal (wastewater), and storm water drainage services to the urban dwellers of the fast-growing metropolitan Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. It covers more than 360 sq. km service area with 12.5 million people with a production of almost 2110 million liters per day (MLD). Dhaka WASA faces a number of challenges. These include unplanned city development and informal settlements, transitioning to using surface water instead of groundwater, and large investment funding. But Dhaka WASA has a number of notable achievements including significant increase in water production and productivity, improved service quality, increased revenue, reduction of non-revenue water, and provision of water supply at low cost.
