Bangladesh Rural Electrification Board
Soe · Chairman: S M Zia-Ul-Azim
Largest power distribution organization in Bangladesh, responsible for rural electrification through Palli Bidyut Samities (cooperatives) covering all 461 upazilas
Financial performance FY2023-24
FY2023-24 income/turnover Tk 2,324.95 crore, after-tax net profit Tk 1,451.11 crore (up ~47% from FY2022-23 after-tax Tk 987.83 crore). BREB itself is profitable; the 80 Palli Bidyut Samities it oversees collectively run losses (separate entities). Note: a separate Daily Star SOE-budget account put 'BREB' losses at Tk 4,499 crore in FY2023-24, which conflates the PBI network; the BREB board's own audited result is a profit. Employee count not verified.
