To continue supporting Bangladesh’s robust growth trajectory over the coming decades, Bangladesh will need to allocate sufficient policy and resources to local gas exploration, installation of renewable energy systems, and efforts on energy efficiency and conservation. The time is paramount to concentrate on energy security instead of only electricity security. It is also important to avoid the wastage of scarce energy resources. All these will require Bangladesh to facilitate private investment from reputed global and local energy investors along with the application of innovative technology to ensure sustainability and efficiency.
