FIRST AND SECOND GENERATION ENERGY SCENARIO IN BANGLADESH

Abstract

Electricity is an unavoidable prerequisite developmental resource for the advancement of a nation. Energy is an unavoidable prerequisite developmental resource for the advancement of a nation. Today in Bangladesh share percentage of renewable energy only 3% of total energy ratio, Bangladesh have already taken a master plan in renewable energy sector. Whereas installed electricity generation installed capacity of Bangladesh rapidly increased to 13265 MW with captive generation capacity which is insufficient for fulfilling the demand of electricity of the nations. One third of the power production of Bangladesh depends on expensive imported fossil fuel energy resources and 65% of power generation depends on natural gas reserve of the country, though one day the reserve of current gas will be diminished. Moreover, inadequate electricity production leads the country in a un-industrialization. The present and future crucial energy crisis situation adapted by installing renewable power into electricity production. The current renewable energy agenda of Bangladeshi government force the specialization of renewable energy generation budget by decreasing global pollution with save movement of biomass, solar, hydro, wind, and tidal power sector. This paper presents the currents national energy scenario of Bangladesh. According to this, the grater potentiality of renewable energy resources is also reviewed and presented in this paper.
