Questions
All FAQs →What is load shedding (লোডশেডিং)?
Load shedding (লোডশেডিং) is a planned, rotating power cut: when there is not enough electricity for everyone, the utilities switch feeders off in turn, usually for an hour or more. People in Bangladesh also call any power cut বিদ্যুৎ বিভ্রাট (bidyut bibhrat – electricity disruption) or বিদ্যুৎ চলে যাওয়া (bidyut chole jawa – the electricity going off). Whatever you call it, search your post code to see if neighbours are reporting it and whether a shutdown was announced.
বিদ্যুৎ চলে গেলে কী করবেন? What should I do when the power goes off?
First check whether it is only your home: look at your meter, prepaid balance and main switch, and ask a neighbour. If the whole area is off, report it here in one tap so others know, check the load shedding schedule for a planned shutdown, and call your utility or 16999 for a fault. Switch off ACs, fridges and pumps so the voltage surge does not damage them when the electricity comes back.
Is there load shedding in my area today?
Search your post code, thana or district, or tap the location button. The page shows live reports from neighbours and any planned shutdown published for your area. The load-shedding schedule page shows every planned shutdown on a map for the next 7 days, with a link to each official notice.
Where do the planned shutdown times come from?
From the shutdown notices (বিদ্যুৎ সরবরাহ বন্ধের বিজ্ঞপ্তি) that DPDC, DESCO, NESCO, WZPDCL, BPDB, BREB, the Palli Bidyut Samitis and Power Grid Bangladesh publish on their websites. Our system reads them several times a day in Bangla or English, works out the date, time and area and puts them on the map. Notices published only as images or on Facebook cannot be read automatically – always check the official notice.
