ESCAP mission in Bangladesh

1. Conducted a one-day stakeholder consultation workshop

Reflections from policymakers November 2018 ,Dhaka. ◦ Bangladesh is expected to achieve universal access to electricity by 2019

◦ Bangladesh has successfully introduced “net metering” to accelerate the implementation of rooftop PV. ◦ The tool should include this option as an approach to increasing RE.

◦ Bangladesh has been very successful in PV-based irrigation. ◦ The tool should include an analysis for the benefits of using solar PV for irrigation

RE STATUS FROM SREDA DATABASE

Key Challenges

•Expanding supply of electricity at faster rate to meet existing unmet consumer and rising future demand.

•Faced with the risk of complete depletion of existing gas reserve by 2030.

•Expanding on shore and off shore gas exploration.

•Addressing energy efficiency through converting simple cycle power plant to CCPT, utilizing exhausted gas from boiler and household gas metering.

•The weighted average of Bangladesh gas tariff is estimated remarkable rise which affects competitiveness of industries

•Huge infrastructure is necessary to import transport and stock coal to meet the future power production demand

•Energy pricing and subsidy

•Scarcity of suitable land ,High cost and complexity of Land procuring for solar instalment.

•Generation cost is high for waste to energy.

•Limited Knowledge on Technology and Management for converting waste to energy.

Way forward

Increase efficiency of exiting power plant, use of efficient technology in new power plant, fuel diversification, source diversification.

Increase portion of renewable energy

Financing through G to G , private imitative, ECA.

Demand side management.

Regional Knowledge and technology sharing.

Enhancing Regional Cooperation.

Joint investment and power sharing in hydro- power project in neighbhouring prospective countries to increase portion of renewable energy.
