Bangladesh is experiencing almost 45% overcapacity in power sector since 2019. To ensure unquestioned energy investment, the Government endorsed an immunity act called Quick Supply of Energy and Electricity (Special Provision) Act 2010 for 2 years primarily and extended 4 times up to 2021. Advocate Syeda Rizwana Hasan, Barrister Jyotirmoy Barua and Dr. Qazi Zahed Iqbal revealed the legal and political aspects of the Act in the Webinar organized on 10 July 2020 jointly by Bangladesh Working Group on External Debt (BWGED) and School of Peoples Law (SOPL).
