- rehabilitation of electricity network in the Greater Rajshahi Region to meet present and future needs
- installation of around 360 km of high voltage transmission lines
- installation of some 200 km of distribution lines
- expansion, rehabilitation and re-equipping of transformer stations and construction of new ones

 The improved system will help boost economic activity, create jobs and ultimately, reduce poverty.
