Bangladesh is on the brink of a major transformation in its power sector.

The current energy and power goals do not reflect the targets of Bangladesh’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), nor the SDG 7 on clean energy access.

The growing energy intensity of an increasingly mechanised agriculture sector brings together food and energy in a delicate nexus.

The share of renewable energy is projected at merely 11 and 16 percent in 2041 and 2050.

For a green energy transition, Bangladesh needs ambitious goals and smart strategies.
