Action Plan for Energy Efficiency and Conservation
Published by the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, the action plan aims to set a cohesive framework for energy efficiency and conservation activities under the guidance of the Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Agency (SREDA). It notes that the government has set the following targets to ensure sustainable energy supply:
– 10% of primary and secondary energy saving by 2015
– 15% by 2021
– 20% by 2030
The plan provides an overview of Bangladesh’s energy sector, its legal and institutional framework, how capacity will be managed in the energy sector, and a summary of ongoing energy efficiency activities. These include an energy star labelling programme, an improved cook stove programme, and installation of solar panels.
The ultimate aim is for a Master Plan on Energy Efficient Management to be developed.
