The Cabinet today gave final approval to the draft of Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (Amendment) Ordinance 2022 empowering the government to set fuel tariff on its own under special circumstances.
The approval came at a Cabinet meeting with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in the chair at the Prime Minister's Office (PMO), Cabinet Secretary Khandker Anwarul Islam said while briefing journalists at Bangladesh Secretariat.
He said the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) can wait for up to 90 days to review and take a decision on fixing tariff rates, which is lengthy process.
