Abstract

The need for electricity and other forms of energy has skyrocketed in recent years in Bangladesh as a direct result of the country's robust economic growth. Despite this, the firms who supplied liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders were the ones who decided how much they would cost, and customers had no room for negotiation. From this vantage point, the purpose of this essay is to apply the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) in order to gain an understanding of the process of price fixing in Bangladesh's electricity and energy sectors. This paper argued, using secondary data sources, that the three types of coalitions have occurred in order to set oil and gas prices in the power and energy sectors in Bangladesh. In this way, this paper contributes to the academic discourse on the subject.
