Bangladesh, Nov. 5 -- Most listed private-sector power producers secured year-on-year profit growth in FY26, despite lower electricity generation compared with the previous year, plants remaining idle and expiry of power purchase agreements (PPAs).

Advertisement The earnings growth was driven mainly by lower operating and financing costs, while contributions from subsidiaries and associate companies helped offset the impact of subdued power generation, market analysts said.

While some companies had the scope of higher plant utilisation and increased electricity sales, others managed to sustain profit growth despite weak revenue from power generation due to contributions from subsidiaries and lower financing costs.
