Legislation: Renewable Energy Policy Framework in Bangladesh

Website: www.lged-rein.org/policy/policy_fr.htm

There is lack of stimulating policy to foster the development of different renewable energy technologies in Bangladesh. An enabling policy is required to accelerate the growth of RETs in Bangladesh.

2National Energy Policy (NEP), 1995" of Bangladesh has got guidelines for Renewable Energy Technologies. Government has also adopted "Private Power Generation Policy, 1996" for encouraging private sector participation in the electricity generation sector of the country along with BPDB and already several Independent Power Producers (IPPs) are supplying electricity to the national grid. Apart from this, another policy "Small Power Generation Policy, 1998" has also been introduced to encourage small electricity generation capacity up to 10 MW throughout the country by the private sector.

A "Draft Renewable Energy Policy" has been submitted by the Power Cell of the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) which is yet to be approved by the Government of Bangladesh (GOB). This can be downloaded from the above website.
