Bangladesh is an Energy Starved CountryBangladesh is an Energy Starved Country
Only 40% of the 160 million are connected to the grid
Most of the rural people do not have access to electricity
Majority rural people depend on kerosene lamps for light
80% of the rural people cook with biomass
This causes economic, health, environmental problems

Development Needs Energy. Renewable Energy can be a source of cost effective and pollution free energy

Poor People & women are the victim of Energy shortage Bangladesh is severely affected by Energy Shortages
unstable supply of electricity & extensive load shedding impose a high cost on the economy
Total Electricity Production is about 4500MW & the real need is more than double only in the grid connected area
Most of the power plants are old and working for more than 20 years
85% of the power plants are operated by natural gas The total gas reserve is not sufficient to continue the
supply after 2016 Electricity is required for reducing poverty and uplifting life
standards

Journey Towards Green Energy RevolutionJourney Towards Green Energy Revolution Set up in 1996 by Professor
Yunus, Founder of Grameen Bank.
Our Mission is to empower the rural people with access to Green & Clean Energy and Income
Now, operating all over Bangladesh with about 850 field offices and over 5000 staff
We envisage a future where rural households of Bangladesh, would have access to environment friendly and pollution free energy at affordable cost

Reaching the Rural People The Need For Innovation
Main Hurdles were High Up-front Costs Lack of Consumer financing Very limited investments in this sector due to perceived
risks and uncertainty Knowledge and Awareness gap Lack of efficient, cost–effective after sales service Lack of policy support
