renewable energy policy of bangladesh 2018

0000004021 00000 n In Bangladesh efficient utilization of renewable energy resources is yet to assume commercial dimensions and hence rational policy dissemination on renewable energy usage is essential. More tariff increases should be expected in future, the study warns.A revenue or subsidy increase was required to partially address the huge US$1 billion loss that BPDB stated it is on course to post in fiscal year 2019-20, a figure likely to be made worse by the Covid-19 pandemic, Nicholas and Ahmed say.The Bangladesh Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources has maintained that the introduction of a large fleet of new power stations fuelled by imported coal and LNG will bring down the cost of generation which are comparatively high when imported oil and diesel are used to generate power.But this is a misleading, say Nicholas and Ahmed. The benefits of renewable energy in Bangladesh Expanding capacity in the electricity sector can be achieved cost-effectively through clean energy options (renewables and energy efficiency), which not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also increase jobs …

Bangladesh currently has a target of meeting 10% of power demand from renewable energy resources by 2020, although current generation of renewable energy is less than 1% of total electricity generation. endobj 0000005447 00000 n 0000004695 00000 n endobj World and Middle East business and financial news, Stocks, Currencies, Market Data, Research, Weather and other data. 0000002898 00000 n endobj

Bangladesh's knitwear and readymade garment (RMG) sector has already been hit with US$ 6 billion of cancelled or postponed orders due to the coronavirus pandemic. The RMG sector accounts for more than 80% of the nation's exports.Although the IMF's latest forecast sees a significant recovery in Bangladesh's GDP growth in calendar year 2021, that is far from certain because of the pandemic, Nicholas and Ahmed argue.Even prior to the construction of the China-funded and under-utilized Payra mega coal plant, Bangladesh had excess capacity that had led to huge 'capacity payments' to plants lying idle.A 'capacity payment' is a payment made to a power producer to enable him to retain his capacity even though only a part of it is used. And, importantly, environmental pollution can be avoided. The objectives of the Renewable Energy Policy for Bangladesh are to: Harness the potential of renewable energy resources and dissemination of renewable energy technologies in rural, peri-urban and urban areas; Enable, encourage and facilitate both public and private sector investment in renewable energy … 7 0 obj <> <> 0000001861 00000 n endobj endobj
