3. Renewable energy is energy that is obtained from renewable resources, which are naturally restocked on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves and geothermal heat. The present renewable energy arrives from biogas, hydro power, solar and wind. Bangladesh is a developing country which offers many options and opportunities for utilizing renewable energy sources for generating electric power. Modern Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) are mostly in the research, development and demonstration phase. 3

4. Present Electricity Generation in Bangladesh Power generation capacity has increased from 4,942 MW in 2009 to 13,883 MW in 2015. 4

5. Renewable Energy Scenario in Bangladesh Commendable progression has been compiled in the renewable energy sector in the last few years. At present, 404 MW is being generated from renewable energy sources. Solar home system is a success story in Bangladesh and day by day its popularity is increasing in the rural areas, especially in the off-grid regions. 5

8. There is no national coordinating agency for Renewable Energy sector in Bangladesh. Several government organization (BPDB, LGED, IFRD), academic institutions (BUET, DU, BITs), REB, non- government organizations (Grameen Shakti, CMES, BRAC) and private companies are involved in renewable energy sector in the country. Establishment of Renewable Energy Development Agency (REDA) has been proposed by the National Energy Policy (NEP), 1995 of GOB. 8

9. Notable Initiatives Projects by Government Organizations Biogas Pilot Plant Project by IFRD (20,000 plants within 2004). Biogas Project by LGED (1,200 plants). Chittagong Hill Tracts Solar Electrification Project by BPDB. Wind Resource Assessment Program (WRAP) by BPDB. Micro Hydro Power Plant at Barkal by BPDB. Projects by Private Sector and NGOs RET Programs of Grameen Shakti (10,000 SHS); Dissemination Program of CMES (Rural Market Electrification) Renewable Energy Program of BRAC; Projects by Educational Institutions Dissemination of RETs by Renewable Energy Research Centre RET Program of Centre for Energy Studies (CES), BUET. 9

10. Solar Energy Figure shows the approximate distribution of SHSs installation division wise and illuminates that the distribution of the SHSs is highest in Dhaka district and lowest in Sylhet district. 10

12. Wind Energy BPDB has completed a 1000 kW capacity wind battery hybrid power project in Kutubdia islands. Under this project, a total of 50 units of 20 kW capacity stand-alone type wind turbines are being installed. Wind Battery Hybrid Power Plant (WBHPP) was officially started on March 30 th , 2008. The other project of BPDB has completed a 0.90 MW capacity grid connected to wind energy at Muhuri Dam area in Feni district in 2004. The BPDB has allotted that wind energy can contribute up to 10% of the energy generated. 12

13. Biogas Energy An agriculture based country like Bangladesh has huge potentials for utilizing biogas technologies. According to IFRD- there is potential four million biogas plants in our country. 13

14. Biogas Plants Construction in Bangladesh under National Domestic Biogas and Manure Programmed (NDBMP) In 2006- Total biogas plants installed = 206 In 2007- Total biogas plants installed = 2116 In 2008- Total biogas plants installed = 2648 In 2009- Total biogas plants installed = 4459 In 2010- Total biogas plants installed = 4800 In 2011- Total biogas plants installed = 5049 In 2012- Total biogas plants installed = 5555 Biogas plants construction in Bangladesh 14

15. Key solar PV installations of the country are listed below - Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) installed the first solar PV installations in Bangladesh In 1981. Still the solar panels are operating satisfactorily. In 1983, Bangladesh Island Water Transport Authority (BIWTA) installed 125 solar-powered beacon lights in different parts of Bangladesh to identify the marine routes at night. In 1988, Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission carried out Solar Photovoltaic Pilot project at Sandwip island. 15

16. 4) On June 1996, Grameen Shakti (GS) came into existence as a renewable energy company. The main program of GS is its Solar Photovoltaic Program. GS has already installed 10,000 Solar Home System (SHS) 16

17. 5) On June 1997, Rural Electrification Board (REB) implemented the largest solar PV electrification project for rural households and commercial enterprises at a remote island in Narsingdi district. This pilot project served about 900 households of the island community. 17

18. Solar Electrification In Ashrayan Location : Baradubi, Nalitabari, Sherpur Beneficiary : 60 Households System Capacity : 1.725 Kw Appliances : 10 watt/family, power for TV in community centre Solar Market Electrification Location : Abaipur, Sailkupa, Jhenaidah Beneficiary : 50 Shops System Capacity : 1.8 KW Appliances : 10 watt/shop 18

19. Solar Electrification in Community Clinic Location: Kamarul, Terokhada, Khulna Beneficiary: Improved health care for 50,000 people in the locality System Capacity : 1.5 KW Appliances : CFL Lamp, OT Lamp, Refrigerator, DC Fan, TV 19

20. Hydro Power At present only 230 MW of conventional hydro power is utilized in the Karnafuli Hydro Station, which the only conventional hydro-electric power plant in the country operated by Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB). 20
