Gas shortage has been worrying electricity officials, foreign financiers and private entrepreneurs about the future of power plants, already in the pipeline or even in operation.
Many cannot rest assured of required gas supply to power plants despite having prior assurance with Petrobangla as the country has been passing through its worst gas crisis in decades.
Some are planning to switch over to dual-fuel system so that diesel or furnace oil could be used for keeping the plants operational in case of gas failures, power officials said.
