  • Adani Power reduced electricity supply to Bangladesh by over half due to unpaid bills totaling $846 million.
  • Bangladesh's interim government has issued a $170 million letter of credit to address the arrears.
  • The power supply reduction comes as Bangladesh faces economic challenges from costly imports and political instability.
  • Bangladesh is reviewing its power deal with Adani, which has been criticized for higher costs compared to local producers.
  • Efforts are underway to diversify Bangladesh's energy sources, including the commissioning of its first nuclear power plant.
