Despite many criticism, the success of Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) is not insignificant. The act was passed three years back and the BERC started formal functioning with appointment of two members in April 2004. It already finalized the draft of licensing for the utilities. It also chalked out an organogram and almost finalized the procedures on determining price of electricity. It drafted five regulations for its operation. But still the BERC remains as an inactive organization due to financial crisis and non-approval of the organogram by the ministry concerned. Moreover, there is allegation that the ministry treats the commission as a wing of it although BERC is an independent body. The ministry‘s attitude and bureaucratic tangles are severely disrupting the smooth functioning of the commission. The commission must act independently, otherwise it will definitely fail to perform its task as the regulator of the energy sector. The chairman and members should also run the commission keeping it free from ministry‘s influence. The BERC should have been provided with all necessary supports, including logistics and manpower, by the ministries concerned
