PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Background:
Bangladesh generates almost 98 percent of its electricity from fossil fuels. This accelerates climate change and drives up energy prices. The government is increasingly recognizing the need to invest in renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE). It aims to achieve a 40 percent share of clean energy by 2041. However, there are challenges:
The electricity transmission and distribution grid is unstable, leading to frequent power outages. It is also too susceptible to fluctuations caused by RE, such as those from wind and solar power.
Furthermore, the digital transformation in the public sector is progressing slowly, hindering the planning and implementation of energy management systems.
While the green transformation of Bangladesh's energy sector has begun, the economy and the population are not yet benefiting from energy savings and access to cost-effective RE.
A lack of incentives, expertise, and personnel also jeopardizes the implementation of a socially just and environmentally sound energy transition.
Experience from Germany's energy transition shows that involving the public and the private sector in decision-making is crucial. This is where the project comes in.
Objective:
The institutional, economic, and human resources conditions are improved to implement a socially just and ecologically balanced energy transition.
Approach:
The project operates in three areas:
It advises the Bangladeshi government on the energy transition and trains and raises awareness
