Dhaka Electric Supply Company Limited (DESCO) is a public limited company which distributes electricity at the northern parts of Dhaka City and Tongi Town of Gazipur District. The company was created in November 1996 under the Companies Act 1994 as a Public Limited Company.
The power generation and distribution system of Dhaka was managed by BPDB until 1991. An autonomous organisation named Dhaka Electric Supply Authority (DESA) was created by an ordinance promulgated by the President in March 1990 to improve services to the consumers and to enhance revenue collection by reducing the prevailing high system loss.

A flywheel-storage power system uses a flywheel for grid energy storage, (see Flywheel energy storage) and can be a comparatively small storage facility with a peak power of up to 20 MW. It typically is used to stabilize to some degree power grids, to help them stay on the grid frequency, and to serve as a short-term compensation storage.
Together, the companies are introducing South Korea’s inaugural high-inertia flywheel synchronous condenser, marking a significant advancement in energy sustainability. The cutting-edge condenser, boasting a 50-megavolt-ampere reactive power (Mvar) capacity, is set for deployment near a pivotal HVDC connection on Jeju Island.
