Power Grid Bangladesh PLC (Power Grid) is responsible to transmit high voltage power across the whole country. Previously Power Grid used earth wire/ground wire to protect the transmission line from thundering. Before 2008, Power Grid used analog PLC (Power Line Carriers) based technology for telecommunication, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and power transmission system protection. After 2008, Power Grid adopted new optical fiber based communication technology replacing the prevalent ground wire by modern OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) with modern digital communication system for reliable and faster telecommunication, SCADA and system protection.

Till December 2025, Power Grid has installed around 9400 km of OPGW across the country along with its high voltage transmission lines. Besides Power Grid’s own needs, the unused optical fibers are being leased out to local telecommunication operator according to approved lease rate and standard contract document with a view to developing national telecommunication infrastructure.

Some information about optical fiber leasing is given below:

i. Power Grid has obtained NOFTTN (Nationwide Optical Fiber Telecommunication Transmission Network) license in 2005 which was later transformed into NTTN (Nationwide Telecommunication Transmission Network) license in 2014.

ii. Total 10 (ten) organizations including other NTTN license holders and Mobile network operators are using Power Grid’s OPGW-based optical fiber under leasing agreement.

iii. Total 22,611.66 KM (22,611.66 x 2=45,223.33 Core-km) of optical fiber core has been leased till December 2025.

iv. Dark optical fiber lease rate (effective date 01.01.2026):

v. With the aim of delivering internet services to the people of the country through Power Grid’s robust and highly available fiber network, Power Grid has established a data transmission network with 9.6/13.2 Tbps backbone capacity (operational capacity: 800 Gbps) along the Dhaka–Kuakata–Benapole route.

As of December 2025, Power Grid has leased a total data capacity of 200 Gbps to various International Internet Gateway (IIG) operators.
