Pledging to introduce state-of-the-art technology to the sector, they also emphasized the commercial expansion of successful renewable energy and energy efficiency models piloted at the grassroots level.

The comments were made at an event to mark the completion of the opening phase of the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Program (REEEP), held at a Dhaka hotel on Thursday.

Launched in November 2013, the phase, funded by German development agency GIZ, involved €10million and was completed in October last year. It was jointly implemented by GIZ and Bangladesh’s Sustainable and Renewable Energy Development Agency (SREDA). Addressing the event as the chief guest, State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid said the government was eager to promote renewable energy sourcing in the country.

Seeking technical cooperation from energy experts, he said commercial production of bio-fuel could help meet the energy demand for the country’s public transport, reducing dependency on traditional fuel. The minister insisted that successful models of renewable energy sources be expanded across the country, in order to ensure sustainable development. Power Division Secretary Dr Ahmad Kaikaus praised entrepreneurs who have been engaging in renewable energy sourcing and dealing with energy efficiency.
