The advisers to the interim government yesterday decided that prices of electricity, gas, and fuel will no longer be increased or decreased without public hearings.
In their third meeting, the advisers decided to repeal Clause 34 (ka) of the Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) Act-2003.
The clause introduced last year allowed the government to set energy prices in special circumstances, bypassing the regulatory body and public input.
Under this provision, the previous government fixed energy prices multiple times without holding public hearings.
The decision was made to promote public engagement in the matter, according to a press release.
