Bangladesh is experiencing significant power outages as the government struggles to pay electricity producers on time. Over the past two weeks, daily intentional power cuts have ranged from approximately 600 megawatts to 3,350 megawatts, marking a sharp increase compared to earlier this year. These outages are impacting rural areas and garment factories amid a major heat wave attributed to climate change. The combination of late payments and technical issues has intensified the power supply challenges in the South Asian nation.
