Executive summary

Bangladesh has made significant progress in economic and social development sphere, particularly in reducing poverty and regional disparity in development. Making further in road to our development challenges will largely depend on creating productive employment opportunities and income for the poor, particularly in the rural Bangladesh. This would be a daunting task unless energy security is ensured.

Being aware of the finite stock of fossil fuels and their negative impact on the environment, countries across the world are now leaning towards renewable energies like solar energy, wind energy, bio-energy, hydropower, geothermal and ocean energy in efforts to ensure energy security.

Keeping the spirit of low carbon emission development, Bangladesh Government with the help of UNDP approached to implement a technical assistance project named “Development of Sustainable Renewable Power Generation” project which will create opportunity for power generation from renewable energy in Bangladesh. Global Environment facilities (GEF) approved US$ 4.07 million for the project.

Though the project document signed in November 2013, but for clearing all formalities actually project started on January 2015. The official launching of the project with inception workshop was held in March 5, 2015. The purpose of the inception workshop was to inform relevant stockholder about the project goals, outcome, outputs and activities and obtained feedback from the participants on project design to adjust the project plan (if any) and to develop cooperation with all concern stakeholders.

The participants actively participated in the technical sessions. The participants made a number of recommendations for the project. Mainly those activities recommended to excludes from the project and the new innovative piloting such as solar boating, solar water heating, etc were agreed to includes in the projects. More awareness programme, capacity development issues, promotional materials and study tour for practical exposure were recommended by the audience. Duplication of any activities should be avoided. The changes were made based on current satiation of renewable energy development of Bangladesh.

1. BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

Energy plays an important role in human development. UNDP and Bangladesh Government believe that access to energy can open/pave the way for all to enjoy the fruits of development and their fundamental human rights. UNDP is working with Bangladesh Government of Bangladesh and its partners to foster energy access for poor people. Sustainable renewable energy access for the poor does not only empowerthem to enjoy their human rights, but also contributes to national development and global efforts in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

With the connection of low carbon emission, Bangladesh Government has decided to implement a technical assistance project which will create opportunity for power generation from renewable energy in Bangladesh. Government with the help of UNDP approached to have access fund from GEF for this purpose. GEF approved US$ 4.07 million for the project.

The project is currently being implemented by Power Division which is to be accomplished by December 2018.

2. PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND OUTCOMES

The objective of the Project is to reduce the annual growth rate of GHG emissions from the fossil fuel-based power generation by exploiting Bangladesh’s renewable energy resources for electricity generation. The basic approach of the Project will be to promote renewable energy in Bangladesh through the recently established Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA). For Bangladesh to achieve a greater share of renewable energy (RE) in its energy mix, the Project will support activities that will

(i) Transform SREDA into a strong RE project facilitation center to bring confidence to private RE investors and increase the number of approved RE projects;

(ii) Increase the capacities of appropriate government agencies to generate, process, obtain and disseminate reliable RE resource information for use by potential project developers and investors;

(iii) Increase the affordability of photo-voltaic solar lanterns (PVSLs) for low income households by supporting pilot PVSL diffusion activities; and

(iv) Increase the share of RE in Bangladesh’s power mix through facilitating the financing, implementation and operation of pilot (RE) energy projects using rice husk and solar panels. The lessons learned from the pilot plants will be utilized to scale-up the dissemination of PVSLs and investment in on-grid RE projects and RE technologies.

8. RECOMMENDATIONS

The following recommendations emerged from the workshop:

1) SREPGen project activities require further detailing to provide a sound basis for implementing of the project. So the activities and sub activities should be revised as per feedback from participants in the workshop.

2) More awareness program can be initiated in activities level for creating a positive and responsive attitude among the entrepreneur about renewable energy.

3) Adequate supporting opportunities to SREDA activities eventually enhance its competence.

4) More promotional activities like video documentary, printing materials and any other form of promotional material for RE success story, SREDA activities, project activities can be included in the project.

5) Interactive and dynamic web site development of SREDA is very much necessary. SREDA Logo design, web site design, web content development and continuous web update of SREDA need to be included in the project activities.

6) Bio mass based power generation should not be confined to only rice husk based study and piloting. Complete integrated bio mass recourse mapping should be done by the project.

7) Duplication of any activities should be avoided. For this, regular meetings with stockholder and other donors are required.

8) Piloting of solar boating, solar cooking, solar charging station can be included in the project.

9) Study of waste to energy can be done by this project at least in 6 to 7 municipality area. Fruits of a pilot beginning can come out of this project.

10) The observation/discussion described in activities matrix can be considered for revised activities of the project.

11) Strong evaluation and progress monitoring activities should strictly be maintained for this program. And no compromise attitude should be practiced regarding quality issue.

12) Acute attention with right concentration should engage for the optimum usage of the project resource to ensure the benefit of the target people.

13) For making the implementation faster, SREDA can act project implementing entity as well as executing entity.
