Abstract:
This paper presents an outlook on the power
generation and mixing policies taken by the Government of
Bangladesh (GOB) to remove energy crisis and ensure energy
access. Electricity generation and fulfilling people’s demand
with limited energy resources is very challenging for a
developing country like Bangladesh. Over the last two decades,
energy consumption in Bangladesh has been rising rapidly for
the acceleration of economic growth and sustainable
development. Conventional energy sources like natural gas, oil,
coal, and some non-conventional energy sources are trying to
fulfil the present energy demand. As development of the
economy directly depends on the energy, a commitment of the
current government to ensure the affordability of electricity
for all citizens by 2041. The goal of this study is to analyze and
compare the present and past energy consumption and reserve
energy resources of Bangladesh, problems, and policies to meet
present demand as well as future power demands.
