Load shedding is back in a big way. On 9 August 2026, Bangladesh hit a record 3,671 MW of load shedding after a fire at the Maheshkhali LNG terminal cut gas to power plants. Some districts went without power for 12 to 16 hours a day, and the gas shortage has not gone away.
An IPS (instant power supply) keeps your fans, lights, Wi-Fi and TV running when the power goes. It has two parts: an inverter (the box) and a battery that stores power while the electricity is on.
Prices jump when outages get bad, so buying before the next crisis saves money. We picked the best IPS for each type of home, from a ৳9,000 starter for a small flat to a full family package.
