Introduction :
Renewable Energy sources are gradually replacing traditional fuels. Globally environment friendly energy sources are now playing a vital role in mitigation of climate change. It is now a demand of time to add more energy from renewable to supply the basic energy need of people.
A noticeable, positive trend can be seen in the research, dissemination and implementation activities on renewable energy at home and abroad. Every work in this field is directly contributing towards mitigation of GHG gas emission and climate change.
To interact and exchange information about overall research and development, dissemination and efficient application of renewable energy, a one-day seminar and three-day exhibition will be organized. The main objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers, industrialists, manufacture, supplier, investor, installer and policy makers from different institutions, universities, industries and other organizations. A proactive dialogue between vested parties will give rare to innovative solution in addressing the on going energy crisis of Bangladesh.

Conference Objective
The increased awareness about the adverse effects of global warming has encouraged higher research activities in the field of renewable energy. Importance of renewable energy is gradually penetrating the minds of the general population of South Asian countries like Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The International Conference on the Developments in Renewable Energy Technology (ICDRET) has been organized with a view to exchanging the ideas on implementation and dissemination of renewable energy technology in different parts of the world, with particular interest in the South Asia region.
The scope of the conference will not be limited to technology alone, rather it will also address the economic and sociological aspects of renewable energy. The conference will be a forum for sharing experiences, exchanging the views from different tiers of this sector and help to forge a long lasting bondage between the academia, industry and the people involved in the dissemination of the technology at the grass root level.

Introduction:
Energy is the mother of economy. Energy use is significantly increased since the industrial revolution. This is due to increase of population and use of energy intensive appliances. Two kinds of energy sources are available viz. renewable and non-renewable. Renewable energy includes solar, wind, hydropower, biomass, geo-thermal, waves and ocean thermal and tides, while non-renewable energy includes coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear fuel, oil-shale and tar sands. The current modes of energy are mostly non-renewable in nature which leads to huge emission of carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere that are directly responsible for global climate changes and environmental pollution. Again, the reserve of non-renewable energy is deteriorating very fast as well. So the use of renewable energy is becoming more and more important throughout the world because the major advantage of renewable energy is that it will never run out. Moreover it produces very less environment polluting elements.
The present consciousness of energy and environmental pollution has been grown throughout the world to develop new technology to use energy judiciously. With rapid growth in energy demand, renewable energy is increasingly viewed as a strong contributor to solutions. The Government of Bangladesh has already taken initiatives to promote renewable energy in the field of household purposes through photovoltaic cell (solar) and biogas. Many researchers are also working on wind energy, ocean energy, hydro-power etc. in this country.
The seminar will provide a forum for presenting the current research and dissemination activities in renewable energy. This will also promote the exchange of ideas and experiences amongst researchers and professionals from home and abroad.

A meeting was held on 9 September,2003 at the IDB Bhaban UNDP office among LGED, Grameen Shakti and UNDP to set-up implementation modalities for the proposed Removing Barriers to Offshore Islands Renewable Energy Technology Application (OIRETA) project. Out come of the meeting was as follows.
Grameen Shakti had expressed his willingness to implement component no 3 of the proposed project ie. Offshore Islands Renewable Energy Financing Programme. They already had submitted written concurrence to UNDP. A written MOU should be signed between LGED and Grameen Shakti after getting concurrence from GEF authority. The component has some additional criteria which is different from conventional GEF project such as:
Additionally : The project has some additional identities which differ from previous any project initiated by GEF. Those are Target group, Fund management and technology package.
Target group: This project is targeted to the lower income community. In this cluster the solar home system would really affect in their livelihood and keeping this view, Grameen Shakti shall install the small size of solar home systems to those communities for improving their life with an affordable cost. At present, the minimum size of SHS is 30W so the low-income group can not afford it. In view of such below 30W SHS has been selected for this project.
Growing Fund: The concept of growing fund implies the sustainability of this project. From real life experience of Grameen Shakti, GS has confidence that cost will be returning from users and it will help to develop a growing fund for further expansion of the project. The first year fund will generate the force that will increase the installation. The second year will follow the same and at the third year a comprehensive total will impose the project going steady.
Modality: This project will be implemented in the offshore Islands through Grameen Shakti with the support of LGED like a partnership basis and bringing the light of relationship between the public private partnerships for the development of rural electrification. Before implementation, Grameen Shakti and LGED would sign a Memorandum of Understanding after getting an assurance from GEF.
Technology package: Small size of Solar home System (which is differ from existing package implemented by IDCOL) to address the low-income group who lying on and under poverty level and centralized PV system for community level use will be introduced.
